My littlest one Tyler starts K-5 this year, he should have really started last year but his birthday is 8/22 and the cut off for school is 9/1 so we opted to hold him back a year. His school does that where they only come one day the first week so the kids can get to know the school and the teachers and the teachers can get to know them. Well his day was yesterday and Eric and I took him walked him down the hall and drop him off with his teacher and I did exactly what I thought I wouldn't.... I cried like a baby, I had to bite my lip not to like wailing out loud and breaking down. You have to remember I have done this 3 times already and I should be a pro at this but I'm not, I realize my baby is not a baby anymore...
This is him w/ his daddy on his 4th b'day at Columbia Zoo, one night at Bronco's and then when he was almost 2 at the beach.. I miss that size in him and in me...lol... Then him and his brothers this year at Christmas. I will post his first day school pictures later...
Back to my day... so I sat at work all day looking at the clock watching to see when it would be time for him to get out and so I could call and make sure that Ms. Peggy picked him and took him to daycare, well of course my day got crazy and I lost track of time and before I knew Eric was calling me and he had already picked Tyler up, 2nd upset for the day I did call to check on my baby.... Well I left work rush home to pick up the rest of the family to go to Awana's Family fun night and on the way all I heard out of the conversation was that they said Tyler must had loved school cause he came right in and show all his papers and told all about his day (this is Eric telling me what his daycare teacher said) so this is #3 upset of the day, happy that he loved it but unhappy cause I missed that excitement. Well we get to church and since he is moving from Cubbie to Spark's and will be in the gym this year with his daddy instead at the church he is totally excited and I was just as happy for him but I had something hit me I don't really know who he plays with at church and who his friends are I spend alot of time with the older 2 and help with the youth which I believe is where I need to be but at the same time I felt I have neglected Tyler some so that is upset #4. Well Eric and the boys head home and I head over to the church to meet about the ladies retreat in September and didn't get home until 9:45 and on most nights Tyler would be up and down and making excuses to get up but on this night he was sound asleep and I didn't get to sit with him and hear all about his first day in k-5.. So, if you are keeping count you now this is upset #5 and I believe the flood gates open... I did learn something in this one day... It is time to give up somethings and it is also time to start investing more into Tyler big boy life. I am excited about this weekend Unite Weekend Family Dinner and I pray to get some good tips on balancing our life and also bringing our family closer together... I am ok today. His real day of school is Monday so I will make it all up then... Have a great day!!!
