As Nyx’s birthday is fast approaching, 3 days to be exact, I realized how much time has flown since my last “Nyx-Update”. School has really taken off and things have been a million times better.
No bus mishaps.
No crying in the morning from separation anxiety.
Very little anxiety issues from me.
Generally, things have been really great for Nyx. He loves school and has been growing – I mean that in every sense possible – in leaps and bounds. Homework is such a breeze for him and he absolutely enjoys bringing it home to do, that’s if he hasn’t done it at the Rec Center already. He has friends left and right, I can’t even keep track anymore. Better yet he has friends in the 5th grade. Not saying it’s impossible, but I have no idea how that happens. I certainly didn’t have any kindergarten friends when I was in the 5th grade, but my son pulls it off somehow.
Christmas break is coming up, it’s 3 weeks off! Sadly, this will be our first December in 3 years that we aren’t taking a trip anywhere. His 2nd birthday we went to California, his 3rd we went to Oahu, his 4th we went to Oahu && New York. So naturally we connected his birthday and Christmas as the time of the year to hop on a plane and fly to some other land. He’s kind of bummed about it, but not so much as I am.
This year is something different.
We are actually having a birthday party for him, its tomorrow. It’s nothing big, but it’s not small either. I’ve sent out about 38 invitations and about 20 verbal invitations so we’ll see who comes. We ordered a bunch of food and we’ll cook some food too. We are doing our traditional picture cake, but I decided to opt for some Spiderman decorations on it too. We’ll see how it turns out.
I’m just hoping things go smoothly. No kids get hurt. I don’t get any nit picky parents. Most of all that Nyx and his friends have fun. I’m no Super Mom or anything so I’m doing my best.
Nyx’s next check up isn’t until the 18th so health wise I’ll you know then, but from what I see he’s been really healthy and happy. Hasn’t had any major cold in a while. Amazingly some one *cough*Biodad*cough* hasn’t put brought Nyx to the ER for anything recently either. *Knocks on wood*
I have to make this short and sweet. There’s a lot to say and not enough time to say it in, but since we moved (another entry all its own) we are still settling in and when it’s a bit more calm, no holidays or birthdays, I’ll be sure to update more and with details.
