In a couple days I am going to send my first baby off to school. That is so hard to believe. It used to annoy me when parents would say “ the time just flies, etc”, but I guess you don’t really understand until you have your own and you’re dropping them off at Kindergarten all of a sudden. The first 5 years are over. No more baby or toddler years which come with their own sets of challenges. Now is the real thing.
I know that he is going to do so well. He is such a smart and inquisitive little boy. He seems to make friends really easily too. I’m sure I will be having a way more difficult time dropping him off than he will have!
My hopes for Carter- that he will meet some good friends, and that he will always BE a good friend and a good example. I have so many great memories from elementary school, and even up to high school with great friends. To this day, when I see friends from school we can sit and rehash every year back to Kindergarten and recite funny things that happened way back when.
I hope he continues to learn a lot and ask millions of questions, and make people laugh. His teachers at daycare tell me they love his laugh, and that you can hear it through the whole building. I love that about him. Several of his teachers have told me recently how sweet he is, and how much they love him. That is so nice to hear, and I hope he stays that way!
So, Carter- it’s here!! The beginning of an era- the next 13 years are yours to learn and grow and make so many memories. I am so excited for this new journey that I am sure will have lots of ups and downs, deadlines, early mornings, bus rides, accidents, surprises, etc… But we’ve already been doing it for 5 years, so I know we can get through anything. You are such an amazing boy with so many talents and gifts already. I can’t wait to see what else is in store. I love you and good luck!!
