Could it be? Our baby boy, just born at Clay County Hospital, Brazil, Indiana, GOING TO KINDERGARTEN???? My infant baby, my cute toddler, two years of Preschool come and gone...now J.F. Burns Elementary. Can time really fly that fast? YES! If you have younger kids, hold on tight, because it is here and gone before you know it! I digress, back on task Brian...
Today was the day! It really happened and he handled it better than we did. We felt sad, he said: "can we go now?" We wanted to take pics, he wanted to go in the school building. Our hearts melted when the teacher came out to get him, he ran over and grabbed her hand. We walked away with tears, he waved goodbye and headed into the school!!! We drove away feeling lost, he was enjoying a new world called SCHOOL!
How long will this excitement last? How long will he want to go to school? How long will we feel lost and sad when he goes to school? I am sure, the tables will turn and before too long Jen and I will be just like the couple in the staples commercial who throw school supplies in the cart and sing "It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!!" Until that day, we will still shed a few more tears and learn to trust and let go!!! Ugggh! Thanks for all those who asked and especially for Rhonda Adamson who called to check on mom today!!! It meant more than you will ever know!
Tomorrow is Saturday and Caleb will go on his first ever CANOE RIDE! More about this tomorrow!!
B. Out!!
