"Sniff..Sniff..Sob"

So, I think someone got this whole school thing wrong. I feed them at all hours of the night, change a million diapers, teach them to feed themselves and potty-train and then just when they are self-sufficient, pleasant helpers, who are joys to be with, someone else gets them all day. Who's idea was this??????????? This handsome little man started Kindergarten today and yes I cried. (Actually I sobbed in the shower, but he didn't see that.) Despite my separation anxiety, Ben did great and kept telling me "Bye, Mom, Bye, Mom". True to Benjamin style, only the carrots came back in the lunch box, and he proudly wore the green bracelet for great behavior. He can't wait to go back tomorrow!

His buddy Spence made the transition smooth, as well as his fabulous teacher and aide. I really am so excited for him. We love the school and Benjamin is more than ready.

Jefferson also started Pre-K and I could just about eat him up this morning he looked so cute. He was so anxious to be like Ben and truck off to school. They are right down the hall from each other and he had a blast as well. He told me his favorite thing was recess! I can't believe he is so big.

I think the highlight of going to school for Jeff was these new shoes. He wears them all the time. I think he loves that there weren't Ben's or Noah's first. He loved having Avery in his class, although I think the whole Boy/Girl difference even takes precedence over playing with your cousin.

Lukey also had a great day and will thoroughly enjoy the next few months having "Wukey time" until the baby comes. We went to the library and to get a donut while the boys were gone. He loved every minute.

Now maybe I'll have time to post all our summer fun.
