After a morning of arguing with a 5 year old about everything under the sun, it's a relief to send the both of them off to Grandma's for the day and overnight.
I miss them already. But now I can really get some stuff done. I won't have to stop every few minutes to make sure the kids aren't bleeding from the head. I miss them now. It's so quiet.
Tonight me and Jason have the parent orientation for Ben's new school. We get to hear about the school policies and see the classrooms and meet the teachers.
Tomorrow is the student orientation where Ben will meet his teacher and see his classroom and meet the other kids who will be in his class. Public schools make me nervous, there are some bad, bratty kids out there, but I can take comfort in the fact that this particular school is not in the district where the majority of those brats would go.
I have been asked if I am excited about Ben going to Kindegarten. I really do not know what to say to that. I don't feel excited, not really sad either, but instead I just feel _______----- I don't know. I guess it being that I haven't seen Ben go off to school yet, haven't seen the books and the routine, that right now it doesn't seem like it is happening. Come next week, on the first day, it will hit me and my feelings will come through at that time. It does sort of tickle me that Ben is in big school now, but that also brings about sadness that he is not a baby or a toddler or a preschool age, but he is a big boy. Where did the time go? Why do I need to look at photos to remember him as a baby? So this whole Kindegarten thing comes to me with mixed feelings. I know that Ben is excited, but I also think he is in for a shock at how different big school is compared with preschool. I hope he can keep up. And I hope I can get up in time to have him there, school starts at 7:50 AM!!!!!!!

Yes, Ben is growing up fast, kindergaren already! Next week on his first couple of days there it will be bittersweet for you. You feel so proud that he is going to "big boy" school, but so sad that now he is going to "big boy" school. It is a milestone to record. When it will really hit you is when Aaron starts kindergarten.
I still have a hard time with my kids being their ages. "Little Kaci" already 21 years old! My goodness, where did the time go? I see so many of Kaci's friends now with 1 or more babies, and I think, "my gosh" I am sooooo glad that none of my kids have babies yet. To see Zach with Jacob is bittersweet. I hate that he is a daddy so young in life, but him being a daddy has really matured him and he is very, very good with Jacob. And then April is only 18 years old and already a mommy. I know thats what I did when I was very young, but I sure am glad my kids have been smarter than me.
