Kindergarten!

I still don't know how to feel about Cooper starting school. When I dropped him off this morning I was fighting back tears and he just ran right in and said "see ya mom!" When I thought about becoming a mommy I didn't think about past the time that they would be home with me. Now I feel strange and old. He's in the real world now and I can't protect him from everything. He's so excited though and that's better than dragging him there kicking and screaming. Wish us luck!




Walking to school!

I decided not to post the picture of him in front of the school because the name was there and I don't want psychos finding us. But he is going to the same elementary school that I went to and also my dad!

Emily, it's Erin Hartman. Wow, a kid in kindergarten, you're an old momma!! :) I'm just teasing. That's cool and I'm glad he's excited. I'm glad you found my blog. I got your comment. I actually had found yours awhile ago. I can't remember now if I commented on it awhile back when I first found it and haven't since or what but I do keep up on your cute little family. Now I guess you can do the same! Your little girl is so cute and looks just like your sister, does she not? I love all that curly hair. Well, good luck having a kid in school and enjoy having one less kid during the day!

I can't believe Cooper is in Kindergarten! That seems so crazy! And how cute are the county fair entries?? I'm totally impressed that he won $8!

Congrats on such a huge milestone! Good luck to Cooper and to you, Emily. I'm so impressed that you didn't cry. I cried when I sent my baby to nursery. I'll probably be a total mess when she's off to Kindergarten. ;) That's so cool that he is the 3rd generation to attend that elementary school! :)

Wow! I am so glad I am not the only one feeling old today! Kael started Pre-K here. They have Pre-K for 3 hours everyday because they have all day Kindergarten here! :( I felt really old when I left him there too! I am impressed by Cooper's ribbons at the fair! That is awesome!

Ohh my goodness. He looks so big. What happened? I can't believe its kindergarten already. Sounds like you did good mom. I am jealous that you have atleast one of the three in school. Ty is starting preschool three times a week but I am still nervous about having three little ones at home. Ty doesn't start kindergarten for two more years. I am not sure we thought this out clearly ... too late now.
