Dude, Where's My Baby?!!



This tiny, cute, sleeping, helpless, creature is starting SCHOOL in a week and a half. (Granted, it is PRE-school, and it is only two days a week, but it is still a milestone in his little 3 and 1/2 year life.) Since this picture of total dependence was taken a tad over 3 years ago, Dylan has learned to walk, talk, feed himself, drink from a glass, play, share, dress himself, put his shoes on, use the toilet on his own, express his desires and dreams, and make us laugh at his sense of humor. He can count to 12 (usually), knows his ABC's, sings Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star among many other favorite songs, and astounds us with his insight. When did this little creature become a person? As I ponder where the time has gone I find myself feeling so proud of everything that he is and will become, and a sense of accomplishment at having produced this little human. Yet here I am in a puddle of tears in the middle of Big Lots making this purchase of some needed school items:



My poor son is going to be so embarrased of me by the time I send him off to college!

I found you blog from comment you left on Marins. I love this post and backpack! I promis you will love MS V as a teacher and just a great all around person! My older kids went there and I am taming I mean potty traiining my youngest to go. It is a world of wonder and excitement and one of the most caring enviroments you can ever wish for your little one to start the world out in!
I wish you the best of luck, try to hold back the tears he will have a blast!
