My baby is growing up

[jennmarie77]

Yesterday we received the 'Welcome to Kindergarten' booklet that lists all the teachers in it for my son and it hit me my baby is growing up.

Ok, he's not so much a baby, afterall he will be 6 in just a few short weeks, but man does it only seem like yesterday that I was holding him in my arms and loving him up and now he's a school boy.

I actually had to fight tears yesterday.  I didn't even cry when he started preschool but I guess because I know this is the beginning to the end, it has affected me. 

Beginning to the end meaning now that he starts school, it's only a matter of time before he's graduating and moving out of the house.

Seriously, where does the time go?  Has it really been six years? 

Oh I cannot even fathom the first day of school for him.  I will be a mess.  Shhhh, don't tell my mom, she keeps telling me about how I will be crying and blah, blah, blah. 

I don't want to cry.  I want to be happy for him, but I know I will worry about him and how he is getting along with the other kids and how well he'll do in class.

Oh the joys of motherhood.

Awh! I'm all emotional cause my baby is turning 1 on the 15th and I can't believe where the time went. I don't know what I'll do when he starts preschool and kindergarten!

I never realized how true it is when people say they grow up way too fast!

I saw a little baby only maybe 3 weeks old the other day when we were shopping and garrett pointed to her and said "baybay" and it brought tears to my eyes.. and I thought I MISS him when he was that little! Ah the emotional state of a mother. heh
