Letting go.

*This is what we get for telling Kyle to show his teeth when he smiles for pictures.*


My biggest baby started 1st grade this year and I have lived to tell about it.  I thought Kindergarten was hard but 1st is much harder. I mean, I let 6 year old leave me ALL day, 5 days a week! Who does that? Oh yeah, me and about 6 billion other people...or something like that.
I did totally fine the first day but then a random 3 days later I was blubbering like a fool. I thought all those cliche' thoughts, "Where has the time gone?", "I wish he'd stop growing up so fast." Yada, yada. I have since come to peace with it all and am enjoying watching him excel in school and make new friends.
Kyle missed the first 4 days of school due to our Northern California trip but I knew he would handle it fine (and he did).


We have had our Parent/teacher conference 
where we have been told that Kyle is doing really well
 in school both academically and socially. 
We are very proud of him.

I've never bought my kids school pictures but that one of Kyle makes me smile and think maybe I need to start.

I know it too sista! I asked Kyle today, "Why do you think R is so shy?" His response, "Maybe he has the shy flu." lol
