Caden started grade one last week. He was more than ready. It took me a couple of days to adjust to having him gone all day. I missed him. He's wonderfully conversational so I hear about his day when he comes home and we just spend some time together and chat. It's so nice. He's grown up so much. What a great kid.
Today was the first day of Pre-K for the little boys. They were also very excited. We went to the classroom last week for an open house so they knew where they were going and how much fun it is there. I kept pushing down that lump in my throat and got through it with no tears shed. I can't believe they are this big already. And yet, it seemed to take a long time to get here :)
Backpacks ready for school. They each chose the backpack they
wanted and we ended up with 4 identical backpacks.
Dylan, Evan and Liam - ready to go!
All three boys heading into the school building.
All three boys immediately found their favorite thing and
settle right in - in totally different areas of the room :)
I love love love that they are growing and learning and having new experiences and making new friends. I'm glad that they will have some time with another adult other than mom. They need a change! I'm full of emotion because they are growing up and we are entering a new phase. It's just so Nice! Some of you may be wondering what I did with my free time. Well, I went straight to Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte. Savored that for awhile. Sat and thought about each of my boys and how blessed we are. I said a little prayer for their day and went on my way. I had a list of errands to run and I got every one of them done in one morning. It was quite marvelous. I feel the stretching that occurs with change but it's already starting to feel right for all of us!!
