Today was Owen's first day of Pre-School. He was so excited. He had his new shoes on and his new backpack(with nothing in it). He was so cute. He could not wait to go. When we got to school he went right in and took his seat, I just stood there watching him until his teacher had to ask all the overprotective moms to leave. As the teacher shut the door I realized I didn't get to say goodbye and I had this horrible feeling of anxiety come over me. I realized that he is gone forever. My time with him is done. From this day forward he will be in school. I of course began to cry (I never thought I would be the mom who cried!). I have no idea where the last four years went. As Abbie and I got into the car I realized that she will be one next month and soon enough she will leave me as well. My mothering instincts kicked in full gear and I suddenly wanted to have ten more babies (settle down Len, I will calm down soon enough!). I am a little blue :(. Owen's entire life is flashing before my eyes. I miss him already. It must be true what they say about mothers and sons. It is hard to let go. He is my special, and I love him so much.

How fun for Owen! He will love pre-school, and you will too--after you get over the emotions of it all. It IS an emotional time though. It is crazy that our kids are growing up SOOO fast. Just wait until you cry when the school year is over--I has such a hard time with that last year on Sophie's last day of pre-school. She grew up so much that year that I didn't want it to end!
O that is face is too cute! I love how Excited he looks!
I swear, this school thing is a killer...just wait till they're all gone! (snif, snif)
