Update: This should have posted yesterday. Not sure what happened.  The boys had an amazing first day of school, even though it was cut a bit short for Emmett's physical therapy.  No one had any complaints accept Emmett said his pizza was too soft so he didn't eat it. I'm not sure what that's all about. All he and Elliott would eat last year was cold pizza for lunch.

It went really well but Imhave some hard thinking I need to do because proceeding down this road will create secondary issues and I just don't know what to do.m The real adventure began when I needed to get my drivers license renewed and all three boys were with me. Elliott and Emmett played in the play area but Gavin had another bladder crisis and had to go back to the car because he was getting really frustrated with himself..         Elliott and Emmett did so well.
