Ry guy is Green

So, as we all know, it has been a while since i have posted. Its been so long that I havent posted to tell you that my little boy Ry Guy has started school. Because of his speech, he tested into our neighborhood school, Anthem K-8 :) Not only that, but he gets to ride the bus. :) He is so excited! I am excited for him (not to mention I only have to get one kid, not all three kids dressed and ready for school that starts at 730am)
Anyway, he is doing really well, but I have to tell a super quick story that just makes me so proud to be his mom. So Tuesday was his first day riding the bus. He was so excited that we sat outside with our sweatshirts on, waiting and waiting and waiting, just so we wouldn't miss it. To break the silence after his morning spurt of energy wore off, i told him it was Earth Day. He however had no clue what that meant and so I tried to explain it to him. I had no clue whether he grasped it or not, but either way, he smiled and nodded. The bus came, and off he went. (To all the MacArthur alumni, do you remember all the things we did for Earth Day? Me and my sis were talking about the big huge celebrations we had where we planted trees and swayed with the whole entire school as we sung to Michael Jackson's "We are the World".... Do you remember? Funny how we stop singing and the world just seems to be falling apart. jk
Anyway, today, we are outside waiting for the bus and he noticed some trash that has blown into our yard. He jumps off the cable box and runs over to pick up every little piece of trash he sees. He reminds me, "Mom, remember!!??!? It's Earth Day!!!!".
