Tonight N and I made cupcakes to take to his school tomorrow in celebration of his birthday. His request was for pink cupcakes with blue frosting and Wall-E decorations. Okay….got it. We ended up making the cupcakes tonight but decided to hold off on frosting and decorating them until tomorrow morning before school.
Yesterday N's godmother, Season, came by to celebrate his birthday a few days early with him. She's leaving town later this week for work and won't be able to see him on his actual birthday so he got to practice opening presents today with her. Even W got to open up a gift! A…

Today was N's first day of Pre-K and it totally rocked. It will take some time adjusting to the fact that our day has to get started a little earlier in order to get everything done that needs to be, and making sure he has lunch in time to be at school by around noon…
