First Day of School

It is official.  My little guy is now a kindergartener.  I am proud to say that I only teared up one time today - in the shower before anyone else was up, so I didn't embarrass anyone.  I was just thinking about my little 4 pound baby who showed up 8 weeks earlier than expected & how I remembered looking at him thinking about what year it would be when he went to Kindergarten ( is that just the teacher in me, or does everyone do that?).  I thought at the time that it seemed so far away, but let me tell you...it has happened in the blink of an eye.  I am so proud of this kid, though.  He wanted to ride the bus this morning & he did it & got to class with no problems this morning.  He was pretty proud that he also found his bus home this afternoon without the help of his teacher.  We were informed that "riding the bus is so fun!" & they are going to get "so crazy" in PE tomorrow.  What a moment...to see him basking in his independence & being so proud, but so sad because my little one is not so little anymore.

My baby - 1 day old

11 days old - still so tiny!

Not so tiny anymore!

Ginger is proud too!

My handsome boys!

First day for both of us
