Cody's First Day of Summer School/Camp

Cody tried going to bed early last night (but his excitement got the best of him and he didn't actually fall asleep until around 9:30ish). We got to go visit his new summer school/camp yesterday and Cody was so excited to be able to start today. There are 5 kids in his class. 1 teacher and 3 assistants or aides. I met all 4 and they all seem to be very nice and understanding.

So at 7:00 this morning the alarm rang and although he was excited to go, he would NOT wake up! I had to pry the blankets off him while tickling the jeebers out of that little guy! But it did the thing and he got up and got dressed and did everything he had to with more than 10 minutes left to spare! Yea, Cody!! He put on his new backpack and made sure that his new lunchbox was inside (Both Bakugan), and then we walked to the bus stop.

Just as we were told, the bus started down our road at 7:45...Cody gave me kisses and hugs and we both watched as the bus DROVE RIGHT BY US! How in God's name does a school bus NOT see a child and his mom waiting??? Heck, Cody had his backpack on and everything! I started waving my hands like a wild woman, but it did no good. The bus just kept on going...BUT it must have turned around somewhere because in a few more minutes, that same bus came right back down our road and this time it actually STOPPED to get my little guy!! Cody got right on like a brave kid!

All was going well or so I thought UNTIL I happened to get a call from the school nurse stating that Cody was in a state of hysterical crying because his tooth was falling out (it's just hanging by a thread)...well, Cody doesn't like the feel of a lose tooth and he is petrified of it being "pulled" out, so home he went....But never-the-less, he talks nothing but great things about his day and how he made several new friends and how nice his teachers are! He can't wait until tomorrow....and that makes me smile.....When my kids are happy, I am happy. And right now I'm a really happy mom!!!
UPDATE: WHILE SLEEPING, I PULLED THE TOOTH OUT THAT WAS CAUSING SO MUCH DISTRESS WITH MY LITTLE GUY.....HE DIDN'T EVEN STIR OR WINCE. OBVIOUSLY, THE TOOTH WAS READY, AS IT PRACTICALLY FELL OUT IN MY HANDS! NO ONE NEEDS TO TELL MY LITTLE FELLA THAT HIS MOMMY PULLED HIS TOOTH OUT!! WHAT HE DOESN'T KNOW WON'T HURT HIM!!!!
