We had a big day in the Studley house today!  My baby is not a baby anymore.  Today was Bennet's first day of preschool!  He has been very excited about starting preschool, asking about it for the past 2 weeks.  However, when the big day arrived this morning, he started to have second thoughts.  Instead of wanting to go to preschool, he wanted to go to his daycare.  When we arrived at his school, he wanted "uppie" and wanted to be held the entire time we waited for his class to be picked up.  Looking around, he was the only preschooler that was being held.  It has become clear to me the past few weeks that I continue to look at him as my baby since he is my youngest.  When my oldest was 4 years old, Nolan, our second child, was already 1 1/2, so Jake was viewed as being "older".  BUT BENNET IS MY BABY AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Bennet even got to ride the school bus to his daycare.

It was also Fat Tuesday today!!!  We also celebrated that today with a King Cake and a little lesson from Terri on why we celebrate Fat Tuesday and why there is a King Cake.  When Terri told our kids that the person who got the baby in their piece of cake got good luck for the next year, Jake said he hoped he got the baby in his piece of cake so he would not get petechial any more.  As "luck" would have it, he got the baby in his piece.  Now, since he is king for the day, he is bossing me around and I am currently grounded for the next 20 minutes.  The whole experience was very educational, it was the first time I every tried a King Cake.  I might have some for breakfast tomorrow.

To update you on my workouts, they are progressing nicely.  I am adding more cardio to most all of my workouts, and I felt the benefits on my run today.  I ran 4 miles after getting off work, and it felt good.  If I would not have started my run as late as I did, I would have tried pushing it to 6 miles.  This might be my goal this weekend if the weather stays nice.
