The Big Day is Coming!

My little (big) boy is going to be starting Kindergarten! Finally, lol! On Wednesday morning from 8:45 til 10:30 we will take him to school for orientation. He will meet the teacher, along with us. He will get to see the other kids in his class also. A friend of mine used to work at that school and she said the teacher that he was assigned is a very good teacher and easily relates to the children and the parents. Depending on where we find a house at, he may not attend that school for long :( But, that is something he needs to be prepared for, being as he is a military brat, lol. James will be here tomorrow and this week will be spent looking at houses. It will be a busy week with school starting, house hunting, both kids have doctor's appointments (Riley needs to have his physical for school done on Friday...a little after school starts, but it was the best we could do!). Lily has her 3 year check up. Hopefully her weight is at least on the bottom of the chart and not completely off of it (it looks like she needs to be at least 26 pounds to be on the chart, lol). I have a few concerns that I would like to talk to the doctor about....one being Riley biting his nails. I bought some Thum today and we will try using that this week....if it doesn't work, then I will ask his doc if there is something better to use. Also, he still wears a diaper at night. And every time I ask she always says not to worry about it til he is 7 or 8. He will be 6 soon. Really, I just want to be able to stop buying diapers! Every once in a while when he has a sleepover at my sister's house she would forget to put a diaper on him and he would wake up dry. But that NEVER happens at home. *Sigh* Also, his weight. I think he is still in the ok range, but want to make sure. Both kids will need the flu shot also (although it will probably not be available til October or so). Lily also has a shot (although I am not sure what shot it is, lol) that has been unavailable since she was 18 months old that she needs. Lead test also (she has never had one, better safe than sorry). A lot of this is meaningless, but if I type it down then I can write it down later to remember, lol!
