Kindergarten Picture

This is Nick's first school picture. It's so hard to belive he's in school already. It's also so hard to believe that the background for school pictures still hasn't changed since I waas in school.

SUCCESS!!

Nick had a wonderful first day of school. He was so excited to tell us all about it. It was a long day for him, he also had his first soccer practice last night too.

This picture shows Nick in the middle (gray shirt and jeans) walking to his class after we had to leave him. They wouldn't let parents pass a certain point. This is when I became a little teary.

Outside the school.

Nick and Dad.

Check out my new backpack and lunch box - Transformers Theme.

On my way to Kindergarten!!

Not Me Monday - Kindergarten Edition

I did not daydream all morning about Nick as a baby, toddler, preschooler, etc. and wonder how my 5 lb 3 oz. newborn baby boy became old enough to go to school. Not Me!

I did not smile at how handsome he looked in his first day of school outfit, shiny new sneakers, and a backpack as big as he is - never!

I would never stop the car as we drove out of the driveway, get Nick out of booster seat, and make him (quickly) pose for pictures in the front of the house with his lunchbox and backpack. Not me - I would have planned to have plenty of time in the morning to not forget to do pictures.

I most certainly did not get a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes as Ray and I left him at that big school and waved goodbye.

Not Me!!!

Feeling Old and Reaching Milestones

Yesterday I called Greencastle Primary School and choose a day and time to register Nick for KINDERGARTEN!! I can't believe it. On April 6th at 10:30 I will be taking my first born to see the school, do the paperwork, and kindergarten readiness tests. He will officially be entering the school world - ugh! As if that didn't take ole Mom for a loop - 2 weeks ago Ray signed Nick up for his first season of T-ball. Practices begin in April and games start in May. I have to admit - it is much easier being away from the baby thing. Outing are more fun and not nearly as much work and it is definately easier to go somewhere. Adam is almost potty trained. He just turned 2 in January and took it upon himself that he was going to go on the potty like Nick. It sure made my life easier! No more cribs in our house, no more bottles, and almost no more diapers. They grow up fast but each year seems like more fun than the last.
