My baby is going to kindergarten!

Wow! I can not believe I am sitting here about to talk about Kristopher starting school the day after tomorrow. In thirty short hours my baby will be walking down the hall to start his very first day of school. This summer has been very bittersweet for me. I made Kristopher his own big boy room, away from the younger children, I tried to spend some much needed one on one time with him, and I am still trying to learn how to treat him like the big boy he is getting to be without lumping him in with my two year old and three month old. To say the least, it has been emotional. Last week I had a nervous break down and started to worry about him missing lunch for whatever reason or him being made fun of by other kids. Of course I never want him to experience any pain, I don't want him to endure heartache! I would gladly sign up for all of it just to spare him. And thinking about all of this has hit home and made me realize some important things. Life is too short. I know it seems cliche, but I really need to cherish my little ones. I am so guilty of wishing time away, and for what? I know one day I am going to look back and wish for one more moment with my babies. So from now on I am really going to try and not get caught up in all of the stress that life brings. I am going to enjoy my little ones while I can, because I know that when I wake up one day this will all be over, and they will be grown and gone!

Friday night we went to "Meet the Teacher". Kristopher found his desk all by himself. He is very excited and I am excited for him. This will be an amazing year! And the best part is, we were driving home from his school and Kristopher said to me, "mommy I am going to miss you when I go to school" I love you Kristopher, no matter how big you get you will always be my little peanut!

My Son Kristopher

Ok I am new to blogging and for those of you reading this...most of my blogs will be about the kids. They are my whole life! I spend all of my days with them, and I have very limited adult interaction, so I have come to find humor in the little things they do. I have to say I am especially proud of Kristopher today. Most kids, from my experience, have their favorite toys that NOBODY can play with. I understand this and have always thought that was how all kids are, but I started really thinking about it today, and that is NOT how Kristopher is. He has his favorite toys that he can't wait to share with others. We got a Sonic game last week and he counted down the days until his friend Kasen could come over and play it. Then today he offered his brand new collection of McDonald's super hero toys to the little boy I babysit. I am very proud that he is such a sweet boy that gets pleasure out of sharing even his most prized possessions!
