Parker's Going to Preschool

Wow. What a crazy past couple of weeks......

Since Parker is getting older, Justin and I have decided that it is time to put him in to preschool. This has been a very hard decision for us, but we feel that it is time for him to start working on his social skills. You see, Parker has a tendency to pull himself away and not interact much when put in a group setting. Yes, after about twenty minutes or so of sitting back and watching and taking thinks in, he will begin to involve himself, but we feel by involving him in a group setting on a daily basis that this will help to improve his social skills. Please keep us, especially Parker, in your prayers as he will begin this new adventure on October 1st.

Tuesday night while getting a shower Parker finally realized that he and daddy had matching "man parts". When he asked Justin what it was Justin told him that it was his "cowboy". Please keep in mind that I too was in the bathroom washing my face and it was taking all I had not to bust out laughing. Next, Parker said, "baby cowboy, daddy cowboy and mommy cowboy." When the whole mommy cowboy thing came out I finally had to jump into the conversation. It was so funny. Well, last night I was telling my mom about what had happened. When Parker walked up I asked, "hey buddy, where is your cowboy?" A soon as I said that, he put his hand right between his legs and said, "wight (aka - right) here, " and went on playing as if it was nothing at all. I tell you what, little boys are way to much.

Ok, so I must know just where do kids get their hard headedness? Just the other night after getting Parker ready for bed I asked him to pick up his dirty diaper and throw it in the trash. After telling me no, his daddy picked up the diaper and began to make his way to the trashcan. Well, Parker decided that he wanted to throw the diaper away after all, but when Justin told him no, that he should have done it when asked, he got mad and threw his snack cup across the room. Of course this brought about some discipline. After talking to Parker, Justin said, "know buddy, please say yes sir and then you can get down." Well, I have you to know that twenty minutes later my little hard headed two you old was finally a loud to get down and play. Crazy!!!!

Once again, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we begin the new journey into the preschool world. Parker is not one who likes change at all, so this is going to be hard on him. It is hard on Justin and I as we are stepping out and letting someone else besides someone as close as family watch our son.

I better be going. Hope you have a great week!!!!!!
