Reporting from the Griggs home!

Alex - No problems yesterday at school. After I picked him up I asked how his day went and he replied with, "Fine. I almost cried mommy, but I handled it". Very cute. Today was a totally different story. He never even made it to school. Ryan let me sleep in this morning as I wasn't feeling well and I woke up at 8:15 am with Alex standing over me, crying! When I asked what was wrong, he said he missed me. I can't stand it to see him upset so I let him crawl in bed with me. I rubbed his little back and tried talking to him as reassuring as I could. I knew I had to wait to dig deep to see if there was anything else wrong. When he's upset like that all he'll do is cry more when you try to ask him those things. He's so sensitive. We both fell asleep. Later today it was time to talk to him and he kept telling me that nothing else was the matter. That he didn't want to go to school because he missed me, Cam, and Ryan, and home. I've always stressed with him that he can talk to us about anything. To never be afraid to let us know if something is wrong so I'm hoping there isn't. It just kills me to not know what that child is thinking because I cannot bear the thought that there's something goin on. I don't know, like somebody's bothering him or God, worse. I'm paranoid!!! But these days you can never be to sure. I guess that's probably my number one fear...somebody messing with my babies. Ok no more talking about it because I get really pissed off. Anyway, we had a long talk and hopefully tomorrow will be better. What gets me is he didn't have any problems last year in 1st grade.


I came downstairs from doing some cleaning up and this is what I found. They were all 3 sitting there together watching "How's It's Made" snacking on Casa Mexicana chicken and crackers with cheese. Sooo cute, my boys are!
