The first time they leave home.

This little guy is the last of my troop. He rounded things out nicely, came when things were crazy, has proved to be a great little companion, doesn't think I'm crazy, makes me laugh and is truly one of the sweetest kids I have met.

Next year he will start kindergarten. Yes like most moms I think to myself, I'll be able to get so much done now with all of them in school. No more interruptions, no mom this, mom that, but call me crazy. I'm gonna miss the little guy. He is so sweet about the whole thing. If we talk about him going to school and how I will miss him, he says to me "Mom if you miss me I'll just come home for a little bit." I know it's part of growing up and I know he will have a great time but I wish he could be little for just a bit longer.
