Oh The Places We Will Go

Yesterday was Mekhi's first day of school. Not literally of course, he is still a toddler but it is his first day back to daycare after a three week hiatus. During this time he has hung out with Grandma while mommy and daddy were away. Last week he met his grandpa for the first time and we also had adventures. Now Mekhi is back to school and I have mixed feelings about it. It has been great spending time with him. The joy on his face as he sees things for the first time (or tenth depending on what we are looking at) is priceless. Sometimes I just want to bottle up his enthusiasm for life and carry it with me! I have been considering keeping him at home with me full time but I realize that might be selfish. I observed him at school today and he was having a glorious time. He uses the potty regularly and actually runs so that he can be the first one in the restroom when the potty break is announced. Clearly he is gaining quite a bit from interaction with his peers and I don't want to take that away from him. While I contemplate the next steps for school I will reminisce on our recent adventures.

Last week, in addition to visiting the Martin Luther King,Jr. National Historic site, we took a trip the Georgia Aquarium. Membership has it's privileges, Mekhi never tires of seeing the fish.

We also took a trip to the Fernbank Museum where there is a dinosa

ur exhibit. Mekhi loved every minute of it and we are returning on August 22nd for the Dinosaur Birthday Bash. If you are in the Atlanta area and have a child that loves dinosaurs this is not to be missed. There will be loads of activities for the kids in celebration of the last day of the exhibit.

On Friday Mekhi and I had a sweet treat at Cami Cakes for a

Saturday I hosted a bloggers day at the America I Am exhibit. It was exceptional of course and having many of the parents bring their children was one the highlights of the day. This is truly an exhibit that is not to be missed, if you plan on visiting are are local get to the Atlanta Civic Center before it leaves the first week of September!




Sunday we took a trip to visit one of my good friends Talibah, she has a 7 year old ,Vesey and we all played in the park, checked out the ducks and barely kept ourselves from melting in the hot Georgia sun!
