School....already?

I can't believe it's time! In 8 hours my little boy is going to be boarding onto a big yellow bus that will take him away for his first day of school! ACK! I'm not ready for this yet...

Actually - I am kind of excited about him going. I think he is ready and will really like it, it just means that he is no longer my little boy. As he keeps telling us this past week "I'm not little no more" and unfortunately I have to agree with him. He's not. He has turned into such a nice caring boy - that is going to school in 8 hours! He is so excited. He's been talking about it for weeks. He already knows who he is going to be sitting with (his 11 year old friend Justin that lives across the street). He helped me pack his lunch after dinner, I picked him up some special treats. I'll be posting some pictures tomorrow!

(in case you are wondering - out at his school the kids come in for a day in June to meet their teachers, other classmates, learn the school and practice getting on the bus. All kids get bussed to school since we live in the country).

and...and...and... want to know what my "little" boy did today? HE RODE A TWO WHEELER BIKE! ARGH!!! where's my baby? I want him back! I want to change his diaper, I want to bathe him and dress him and carry him into his bed and tuck him in with a lullaby. Not send him off on his own for the first time! He has only stayed a hand full time at families houses/babysitters. Now I just put him off on the bus and hope he gets there OK!
