Wow, my little man is a big 4th Grader as of today! And to make it worse, he's going to be 10 years old in less than a month! Oy vey, I'm getting old...
Anyhow, I took him to school this morning and met his new teacher. She seems very nice. He said that he likes her and he believes that he's going to have a good year. He's chosen not to participate in band this year. I've got to say I'm a little relieved. He keeps us busy enough as it is with his sports endeavors.
Only one of his friends is in his class this year. There are a few kids that I'm more than excited about not being in his class! Isn't that terrible of me?! Too bad! They were mean and disruptive and the school did nothing about it. Of course, now if Quentin does get into trouble I'll know that it really is his fault and I'll be dealing with that. But, that's okay. I've got faith in the boy!
Here's his first day of school picture. Isn't he handsome?! I just love him...even if he did lock us out of the house this morning.
After school he had a doctor appointment. The doctor says that we should keep on with the current treatment. They think it'll work if it is done consistently. Which it is when he's home. We go back in six weeks and in the mean time the doctor is going to do some research on the laser treatment options. She doesn't think it's a good idea for kids, but she's going to look into it. Also, we had to take a trip to the lab and get a blood test done. They are going to look at his white and red blood cell counts and make sure everything is okay. They're thinking that if his blood levels aren't where they're supposed to be then that could be contributing to the warts not going away. Anyone that knows Quentin knows that the boy does NOT like going to the doctor and anything having to do with needles is 50 times worse than just a regular doctor appointment! So, by the time we got to the lab he was really upset and by the time we got out of the lab he was darn near hyperventilating. What a day! But, I guess that's what I get for "taking the easy way out"! That's a lovely quote from his father. Today was Quentin's 13th doctor appointment. That's not the easy way out...I don't care who you are!

Aaahh my poor Q man! He's so tough. Tell him Annie Aub loves him and I'm proud of his diligence. He did look handsome for his first day and I'm so glad it went well! I also love your wordless wednesday shot - hmmm...wonder where that could've been taken?! Miss you already!
Hugs,
Aub
The little man looks so fresh faced! He's such a cutie pie. I'm glad he had a good first day, even if he was butt-hurt by the end of the day!
It seems like we seldom get to see both of you but I love getting to catch up with this site. What great pictures. It looks like you had a wonderful day at the zoo.
