A morning just like old times

This morning Thomas and I both have dental appointments.  I had been debating about whether or not to send him to school since I would have to get him less than an hour after school begins.  Knowing that he would be in bed late last night because of a football game (he still is in concussion protocol) I was leaning towards letting him sleep in and stay home.  When I realized that today is freshman move-in day and traffic is going to be wretched, I decided there was no reason to drive in the chaos more than necessary.  He didn't have to get up until 90 minutes after Andrew and Catherine left for school.  Right now it is just he and I, just like it used to be all those years when he didn't have to go to school until after the others.  The TV is a little different though.  There is no Mickey Mouse, or Paw Patrol, or Sid the Science Kid.  There are now teen shows on TV.  I can live with it though.  Love this time with him!
