Growing up as a Mom!

Another day another call from the school nurse. I must admit I really do like our school nurse, she's very careful with John and always calls if John goes by her office during the day. Like the time  when John  potty training and got sent home from school because he refused to pee and she was worried he might have a problem... when he was really just holding out for a munchkin. But sometimes I wonder if anyone talks to the nurse as much as I do. I even have her number on speed dial in my phone. It's Wednesday and I've talked to her every day this week. Once to discus John's seizure over the weekend, once about the upcoming field trip and how we would work out JJ's medicine (I get to go on the field trip just incase anything happens score!!) but today's call was John was bit by another student on the bus this morning. Now a year ago I would have flipped my lid, pulled JJ of the bus and driven him the rest of the year... but I guess I'm going from "new school mom" to "experienced school mom" because well of course I wasn't exactly pleased about it I wasn't upset either. I asked if the bite broke skin, she said no and my reaction was oh ok he's fine then. This is the second time this week I've had one of these moments where I laugh at what my reaction a year or so would have been vs what my reaction today is. Yesterday John would not put on his backpack to be dismissed from the playground last year I would have been so embarrassed that my child would not listen to his teacher, well yesterday I looked at him and said very straight forward look buddy I have all day, I can wait as long as we need for you to put your backpack on, were not leaving till you listen. Two seconds later the backpack is on and were out the door. I kinda like being the experienced school mom!
