Junior the Giver
Well Michael Jr. has been a real sweetheart this week. Last week was hard because of preschool starting. This week he is finally figuring it out. Sunday he had to share with me a treat he got at Primary class. It was so funny seeing his little hands filled with fuzzy, sticky, gummy candy. He was so proud of saving some for me. Of course I took it and popped it in my mouth and said Thank you. Tuesday in school, he made me a necklace. He was so happy. I was too. He was very protective of it. He wanted it on me, and he didn't want Zachary touching it. Of course I granted his desires. Today he made a bear crown. Later in the day he let Zachary wear it for a little bit. My boys are great.
The Stitches are Out.
Well I went to the doctor yesterday and they are out. Zachary handled it very well. At first he did not want to lay down. The memory is still pretty fresh. It is nice to know that Zachary isn't alone in this world. He has two people he can count on in the future to compare his chin with. Naomi and Rachel. Wow.

Stitches Stitches
Well Zachary has finally been initiated into boyhood. He was climbing up the bathtub and fell down. I did not witness the event. Daddy witnessed it all. I thought at first it was just his mouth but soon realized that blood came from a nice clean cut on his chin. This happened Friday night. Later on Sunday, he fell again and busted a stitch. This reminded me of when Michael yanked the superglue stuff off of his cut above the eye coming home from the hospital. The doctors were thinking that the superglue stuff might work. I wasn't for the might work, so the stitches were put in. Zachary was very mad at being held down. They wrapped him up pretty good. I held him down too. Everything is fine now. I just need to remember to call the doctor to pull his stitches out.
The following day after the doctor. He picked out the Spongebob bandaids. It was either that or Helly Kitty.
We put a butterfly bandage after we cleaned his boo boo. We decided he didn't need to go back to the doctors for another stitch.
Looks alot better.

Questions Answered
To answer a couple questions that have been asked, Michael Sr. is taking an online class. He has finished his Sociology Bachelors. He is working on a Psychology Bachelors as long as the military will let him. Second the preschool Michael goes to is Niko Niko meaning, I think, Smiles Smiles. It is not expensive because it is for the military and it is based on your paygrade. There you go. :)

1st Day of Preschool
Well it is about time for the pictures of his first day of school. He is really enjoying school.
Michael and Zachary playing while I check Michael into the computer. We also have to check him into class too. Very tight with the security.
Walking to class. Zachary is excited to start preschool too.
Michael and Courtney playing.
This wasn't on the first day, but it was cute. I take Courtney to school in the morning.
