T-minus 28 Days

Yes....28 days till my baby boy will be off to Kindergarten. And for him, it can't get here fast enough. For me, I can just hope and pray that it will slowly get here, but I know that will not be the case.

It seems like just yesterday I was bringing T-man home from the hospital. How can it be possible that it is time for him to go public school? He is so excited. We pass his school regularly to go to P's parents house, and it never fails, we hear from the backseat, "There's my school." He knows the name of the school and everything.

But, in my heart, I know that he is ready. He can spell his name verbally, and he can write it out on paper. He has no problem with his ABC's or his 123's. He can spell Mom, Dad, and with help, he can spell Meme, Papa, Gramy, and PawPaw. He is very smart and yearns for you to fill his little brain with all your knowledge. Let me tell you, spelling words that are 20 characters long for an almost 5 year old takes some thought some times. Besides the spelling, we are doing math. All the time what is something plus something.

I know that I will be ok with him in Kindergarten, it is just the thought that I have a child going off to public school and not daycare.


Until next time.....

Good to hear from you, Steph. I love how much our kids love each other and I didn't mind at all that he wanted those shoes...I didn't have to buy them! :) Can't wait to see you guys soon. Love you!
