Root Open House
The kids were so excited by the garbage truck this morning! Brian always loved watching it when he was a tiny little guy, and now both of them run to the windows when the truck comes. Tonight, I went to the Open House at Root, attended the PTA meeting, talked with Brian’s teacher, saw some of Brian’s work, met some of the other moms, and signed up for some volunteer activities. I liked his picture he made about his feet! I had a surprise for him when I got home–a...

We surprised him with a special present this morning, a talking Captain Rex helmet! Rex is Brian’s favorite character, so being able to wear his...
