Oldest or Youngest in the Class?

By Leave a Comment

Tossed and turned all summer whether to have Holland go to 1st grade or repeat Kindergarten. Mostly do I want her to be the oldest or the youngest in her class? 3 out of 4 of my kids are summer babies and I have to make this decision with each and everyone of them and its so hard to know.

Holland has blossomed so much this summer, so I decided to let her go ahead to 1st grade. I also love that she is going to school with Hudson as her chaperon. It was so cute to see and hear his excitement for Holland to eat lunch at school and to get to now play on the big kid playground.

I hope they have a great school year together!

Back to School Night

Linking my outfit (with another top combo that I think is adorable!)I had lots of questions on Holland and Britons outfits: they are both from Zara Kids and Hollands Bow is from Four and Twenty Sailors.

Yesterday we went to Back-to-School-Night as a family and got to meet the kids teachers and set new goals for the school year.

Update:

Well I wish I had one.

Lately: ever since we got home from NJ Briton has been complaining about his belly. I noticed this after every meal and at night he would start screaming. These night screams have been happening ever since he was 2!, when I weaned him from breastfeeding. We took him in and they said he’s experiencing “night terrors” and I’ve been super sensitive to anything we watch (I was nervous even after Toy Story 4).

Since he is older (4) and can explain to me about his “nightmares” he told me he screams bc it feels like there is a tiny baby in his tummy eating him. (you can tell he has a mom who’s expecting lol) I recently put it together that he’s not having nightmares, that he’s actually in PAIN!!!! (I wrote about this on his 2nd bday post see post here)

So for about 10 days I made note of every time he would complain, and after what kind of foods. I took him to Lion King and he was crying about the buttery popcorn, anytime he eats cereal, donut, saltine cracker, etc, etc

I decided to take him on Sunday when he yet again was curled in a ball on my bottom stairs. I can’t stand watching him like this and its been really amping up lately.

We’ve been to Insta Care, ER, and pediatrician. Last night they decided to have him cut out all dairy and see how does for a couple of days (if he doesn’t have an episode then maybe he’s lactose?) but if he does then well be doing allergy testing and checking further for gluten intolerance.

Hoping for quick answers and that we can get our Briton back to his old happy self.

It’s a bump off! My belly and rump are both rounding out simultaneously. Or so it seems.

Sometimes it’s just easier to see it all written out. Thanks to all your suggestions. We have now finalized her name. First Middle and Last!!!!!!!

And yes I know apparently chalk boards don’t have spell checks, oops I spelled my own daughters name wrong ugh. We spell her name like the Country Holland.
