Cameron started JK (Junior Kindergarten) this past September. I had the normal mixed emotions of sadness and excitment of most mothers. I was happy for him and new he would love school (and he does) but also sad that my first born was growing up and wasn’t a baby anymore, but I wasn’t teary like some moms are when their baby is starting school. That being said tomorrow is JK sign up for next year and for Nathanial. I am not really teary over him starting school and I realize that it is still a few months till September and starting school. Its more that I am amazed. It seems like just a few days ago that I was holding him in my arms not so much as a new born. More when he was 7 months old. I was so focused on him while he was really sick and having his surgeries. I spent so much energy on those moments that it made things like the beginning of Kindergarten feel like it was an eternuty away. I just look back and wonder where all of that time went. It passes so quickly and each passing year it seems to go even faster.
Tomorrow morning I will phone and sign Nathanial up for Junior Kindergarten officially beginning his education. He’s no longer a baby!
