Time...

Where has the summer gone?
66 or so mama days gone in the blink of an eye.
Little Manh wants to "retire",
like Auntie Carol and Auntie Barb
so we can have mama days forever and ever.
I hear you my sweet boy.

And kindergarten.
It's starting for the little dude
Thursday September 6th, 2012.
The day my baby begins big boy school.
Where have the last 4 years gone?


I am SO thankful we fall into a community
that has not gone to full day yet.
He's still little.
Next year is soon enough
to lose the lazy afternoons of lego building fun.

We are as ready as we can be.
We've got the indoor shoes,
the outdoor shoes,
the pirate backpack,
the snack container,
the batman insulated straw cup.

We have a back to school outfit,
a new shirt for day two,
a good attitude
and a growing ability
to say his teacher's name.

And we have 11 more sleeps.

"Oooh," I thought as I started reading, "Looks like B has done a starting school post, how wonderful, I've been looking forward to having her beautiful words make me feel better about my boys..."

Where did you find some good shoes? haven't seen anything around here I liked - have to find 2 pairs this week. Can't wait to hear how Ben likes school! This is year 2 for me & I'm not ready for this last week of having Owen home to end :(

Good Luck Mama

I can't believe he is starting school too! I'm glad you're both already... at least on paper. Good luck!!!

And Samantha... you're all going to be okay too!
