Well, it's been here and it's gone. Summer...true but not what i'm talking about. I'm talking about...
The First Day of Preschool for the Twins
I took the kids last Thursday to their first day of Preschool. What a exciting day it was. I was prepared to cry...for the to cry and for many hugs...
Instead, this is what I got: Alright and since that wasnt exactly what I was expecting on the first day of Preschool EVER - this wasnt what I was expecting either once we got to school:
...and finally, just when i was expecting tears (from me) and flipping out and crying and screaming...this is what I got: Yeah, you got it. No crying...no whining, no nothing. They were too excited to get to school. And seeing them run down the stairs and seeing the smile on their faces and hearing them talk about what they did at school...made me so proud. My Big Boys......my babies aren't so little anymore.
Hi, I'm Amanda. I'm a single mommy, superwoman and "doctor" to my three miracles. My first two miracles came in the form of identical twin boys born at 36 weeks - as seemingly healthy as the could be. They're 5 now but around 3 months old, we found out that they had inherited Retinoblastoma from me (yeap, I'm a cancer survivor too...). That's when I learned that sometimes, what doesn't kill me ultimately makes me stronger. Good thing too becasue 18 months later, I met my third miracle. He's 3 now but before he was born, we found out that he would be born with a CHD called Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA). After spending about a month in the hospital undergoing not only bedside surgery in the NICU but open heart surgery and spending a few days on ECMO (Heart bypass), you'd never know now what he'd gone through aside from the scars on his chest: his battle wounds...the door to his heart. There's hardly anything you can tell me now that I wouldn't be able to handle; I'm a Mommy23Miracles.
The first day of school for my twins, consisted of a bye. They were so ready to leave and I didn't break down until I drove away.
