Tiger H In Action

 

On Thursday, we said a sad goodbye to H’s daycare provider, Maggie.  She cried and H enjoyed the special attention he received all day.  At 2 1/2, he really doesn’t understand that he won’t be returning to her house each day.  We’ve talked about it and especially have talked about Preschool, but we’re pretty sure he doesn’t realize that going to Preschool means he won’t be returning to Maggie’s house.

Today is H’s first day at preschool.  Blue Eyes and I both took him this morning to help him get settled.  Plus, we have the fun chore of checking the menu and leaving special requests with the cook and teachers because of H’s allergies.  Everything went smoothly and there wasn’t a tear in sight when we left.  Oops, yes there was.  Except that it wasn’t H crying, it was me.  My little baby is going to Preschool.  Yes, I cried. 

The school has a webcam so we can peek in at H throughout the day.  I can’t stay away from it.  I’ve logged on no less than a dozen times already.  He’s having fun each and every time, yet I keep checking.  I’m a sad case indeed.

The Boy is on vacation with his father, so I’m already missing him.  Add to that – H’s first day at preschool and the fact that today would be my mother’s 68th birthday – and you’ll know why I’m a mess today.  Just pitiful, I know.

Anyway, H had a great weekend.  He has been golfing like crazy.  He golfs from the time he gets up in the mornings until he goes to bed at night.  He golfs in the yard, the family room, the deck and the screened porch.  He’s crazy for golfing.  He even watches golf on TV. 

He has started referring to himself as “Tiger H”.  Here’s a shot of “Tiger H” in action:

 Yes, his shorts are on backwards.  He wanted to get dressed “all by myself”, so who am I to argue?

I have set up a cup for him to putt into.  On Friday, he started doing this little celebration dance each time he sank a putt or made a nice hit.  We didn’t teach it to him, he noticed it when watching Tiger in a golf tournament or on the commercial where he does it.  It’s Tiger’s “lean back –  arm pump” celebration.  Here’s a picture of Tiger H celebrating:

We can’t always get outside for the golfing, so sometimes Tiger H is forced to practice in the family room.  Apparently, family room golfing is dangerous.  Here’s a shot of Tiger H in action.  He’s got the good looking golfing shorts on.  Not sure what’s up with the helmet.
