Kindergarten... ALREADY?

It really has been long enough since I gave birth to my five pound two ounce little boy that now he gets to go to kindergarten. Really? REALLY?  I am very surprised to say it has been. He is now a forty pound nearly five year old!
His first day went perfect. He kissed me and said he loved me and began his day.   He started using the lincoln logs set out by his teacher and had a cabin nearly built by the time we left.  OUR SON'S an architect! He really has done so well this week. He loves going to school. He doesn't verbally tell me a lot of what he does while he is actually there. He gets sent home with everything he colors, cuts and pastes. He works hard at school. And his teacher says he is a very sweet boy. The one thing he has told me is that he "knows everything the teacher tells him". I have no doubt he is enjoying all the learning, playtime, friends and new experiences.  He is Brandon's son afterall.

MEANWHILE, Addie and I miss our bubba terribly! we don't know what to do without him. So we have been baking, going to starbucks, watching girl shows, and visiting the chickens.  We count the hours till we go pick him up and always enthusiastically get there at least a half hour before he is released.

We will spend the next few months trying to figure out the best routine for us.  We sure are proud of our guy though.
