Ok so I know like Lindsey said it is the first day of the rest of his life and I also know that I am suppose to be happy and so excited that Austin is growing up and starting school but I have to tell you that this has not been the easiest thing to deal with. I have cried over it many times. It seems like he was just a baby yesterday and now he is all grown up and going to school. I am so proud of how brave Austin has been. He loves school and has wanted me to drop him off after one visit. He obviously doesn’t need me and I am glad that he is prepared to go on his own but my heart is being broken apart. I know he will do great but it makes me sad that I will see him less and less every year from here on out. It really makes me think about the time I spend with my kids. Life really is too short. I need to hold on to every minute because before I know it my kids will be all grown up and gone.
When I picked Austin up I ask him what he did today and all he could tell me was that he couldn’t remember. But as the day went on he told me a few things he did do during the day. One of the funnies things he said was; my teacher said: “We are not suppose to say, TEACHER, TEACHER, TEACHER, we are suppose to raise our hand and wait to be called on”. After hearing this I hoped that Mrs. Jessee was just letting the kids know how to talk to her and that Austin didn’t do this. :-/ But I am almost sure that that is probably not true and Austin was probably showing all the kids how not to talk to the teacher. I guess we all have to learn, right?

I love the "Teacher, teacher, teacher" thing because I can totally see Leah doing that. I can't believe he's in Kindergarten. I appreciate what you said about enjoying your children and spending time with them. I find myself wishing time away too often.
I can't believe he is in Kindergarten I totally understand being upset I cried when I had to go back to work after having Kaden.
Kristi-
