And so it begins...



Well, the school years have officially started for Kale. Even though he went to 3 yr old preschool last year it didn't really seem like school because it was just 2 mornings a week. We mostly did that just for social reasons because he hadn't really been around other kids up until that point. Now there's no looking back!!

As usual, he wasn't all that excited that I HAD to take pictures of him before he left!! He humored me though, not just by letting me take his picture, but by making silly faces the whole time. I love the picture of him with his backpack bending over the chair - as if I couldn't see it on him when he was standing!!

I was very saddened while I was driving home. He's been my baby who loved his mommy more than anything in the world and it was tough realizing that he was letting go a little bit to start this new adventure and now I needed to as well. I have truly been blessed to have a husband who saw the importance of my being home to raise our children and I have cherished EVERY SINGLE moment. I think I need to come to grips with change and that there will be many NEW moments to share with them now and to be proud and excited about those things. Who knew that sending our little man off to preschool would make me so sappy!!!

I'm excited to hear about his day when it's time to pick him up. He's become such a big boy and I am so proud of him for not being scared or nervous!
