my baby is going to school

And this is
This is a picture of Xander on the day he was born.
And this is my baby on his first day of preschool. It was way more traumatic for me though. When I got there he said "Mom can I get out of the car now." So I took him out of his seat and he took the teachers hand and walked right into the building without looking back. I almost cried as I realized that life would never been the same. He is getting so independent that he doesn't need me to hold his hand anymore - and this is only preschool. I got over it pretty quickly when I got home and I realized how quiet it was.

Oh my gosh. I can't believe he's going to Preschool!! Look at that cute baby picture!! He has changed so much from then. I'm so excited for Paityn to start Preschool in a week. :) She is so excited and hopefully I can get some stuff done while she's gone! I'll be back this Tuesday, so then we'll have to plan a play date! It will be so nice to be home!

So cute! That is good that he is loving it. It's much better than fit throwing not wanting to go. Have fun with the one on one time with baby!

How bittersweet! He looks so big with his backpack on! I'm sure he's going to love preschool. :) I'm not sending Kanyon this year, but maybe next year...

Hi Nicole! This is Becky Blanchard (Gallegos now). Long time no see, not since you were pregnant with Zander at Kendall and Brad's wedding party. How are you? You're kids are too cute! I finally broke down and created a blog. I added you to my friends list, if that is ok with you...:) Talk to you soon!

My twins start preschool next week, so that was fun to read your post. I'm sure I'll feel the same, although I know that I'm going to LOVE a quieter house for a couple of hours a week. They've been wearing their new backpacks all week to "get ready."

How cute! He is so excited! I think it makes it a little harder to know that they can do it without you. You realize they aren't so little anymore. It has really made me sad with Jossi. I guess they have to grow up sometime right?
