Some might not agree....

but I wish there was no such thing as Kindergarten!
Maybe this sounds a bit crazy.
I felt this way three years ago, and I feel the same way now.
I just can't believe that my little guy
is going to be in school - like in all day school.
He is excited - he thinks he will get to eat lunch with John.
He says he'll have John's back if there are any bullies
(I don't know where he gets this stuff!!!)
Of course we can't tell him otherwise, at least right now.
For the next two weeks, I am going to just soak up the two of them.
All good things must end - I guess.

Cooper starts preschool next Tuesday, and I must admit that I am definitely ready! I love him to pieces, but he is very high energy, and needs the social interaction and stimulation. That being said, he will only be gone two afternoons a week for 2.5 hours - I have no doubt that the day he leaves for school all day, everyday will be very difficult! And when they are both gone - what on Earth will I do with myself?! What are your plans?

I like that he'll take care of the bullies. They've started a 4K program here.

I remember this feeling. My baby is 20 and in Korea and I still feel like this, sometimes!

Time passes quickly.
And they grow up.

Awww, Amy JEAN, I totally agree with ya. Look at those faces; just in the time that I've been stalking you :) I've seen both of your boys change so much! And now there is William Baby turning into William Little Boy--and the same with Thomas Trouble. These children need to stop growing! SIGH...

I also want to know how I can BUY a very large print of the pic you posted on Tuesday. I come over here just to look at that, I love it so much. You are good, AJK...VERY good. And I miss you, too :).

Oh that is too sweet. Brotherly love. Shows his heart and spirit. Or his love for adventure!!! Yes, the going to school thing is often harder on the momma than the child. I hope you make it through that day ok. Plan a distraction for yourself that morning to make it just a little easier. Go with girlfriends and do a manicure or go shopping, eat lunch out, something special for you. Then make that night a BIG deal all about the boys. Make it festive, and maybe you can start a tradition which will help you to feel "a little better"??? Hugs!

And best wishes for a great school year - - with little problems. It's the first day of school here, I'm anxious for the kids to come home!

Annika is going to preschool and while she needs it, the whole thing is bittersweet. I am terrified of kindergarten. Good luck and stay busy, or relax...
