It's School Time!!!

It's school time and I have no clue as to where to start! I received Rajeed's booklist along with the pattern for his uniform shirt about 2 months ago lol.
   Now here this, when I saw the pattern I was like 'oh,this means I have to find the material and find someone to make the uniform' So for 2 months I came close to purchasing the fabric but each time I decided against it. It so happens while trying to figure out what to do I called my cousin(she got Rajeed into the school) and she made one call to the school and in no time 4 uniform shirts were ordered  :D

Thank God for her
*hugs*
Next step was to fnd the shorts or pants to complete the uniform. I took my expecting sister to Answers one sunday and discovered they sold khaki uniforms there. They didint have his exact size but I still purcahsed one ayway asked his grandaunt to make the adjustments.

Later on in the week I went o Joseph's and purchased 3 more shorts, this place has nice cheap khaki pants and other uniforms ready made!

I am so excited,my little pickney, who just born the other day is now a big boy attending school!

After purchasing the shorts, all that was left to acquire was his school books and shoes. Well I am happy to say I did not have to go through the humbug of purchasing school books for him. Thank God for Grandparents! Grandpa bought his school books and supplies and Grandma is making  making his pillow Grandparents are so wonderful : D

His dad and I decided to holdoff on purchasing school shoes for him. He has 2 pairs of shoes that can work for his daily shoe and P.E. shoe.

After a few glitches,his second day of school saw him fully clad in his school uniform!

Isn't he handsome!!!

Dealing with Regression

After thinking 'Wow, my son is turning into such a big boy!' He went right back to being a 3 month old baby! throwing tantrums, wanting me to lift him up constantly, crying incessantly, wanting me to sleep beside him in bed and sleep on my bed and waking up at all hours of the night. I started feeling like a bad mother for allowing him to walk to the nursery in the mornings while he was crying every tear out of his little body, but I'm like why must I lift up the 45lb toddler and carry him to nursery every single morning.So for three mornings I endured the "Mummy lift up" or the ear shattering crying for our ten minute walk to the nursery with fellow pedestrians smiling and saying 'don't worry mommy, him soon stop' and even addressing Raj saying, 'Son, you must walk!'

While at work, I received an e-mail from www.babycenter.com re: Why regression happens. This article, did  not go in-depth but provided me with an eye opener. I was shocked at how it just popped up right at the moment when I was at a total lost. I had sought advice from other parents and non-parents with no advice suitable enough to help me figure out how I should deal with the issue.

 I was provided with the insight that it must be confusing to be mommy's little boy one minute and then all of a sudden mommy's big boy!

Armed with my new information, I decided to be more patient with him, to discipline him sternly but with love and allow some flexibility. I am battling not being able to spend enough quality time with him but I am making every effort possible to do so.

 Parenthood is very challenging but I am enjoying it every step of the way!!
