Big Day

We made it through Luke's first day of Kindergarten. I've said it a hundred times today, but I can't believe we reached this day so quickly. He's growing up so fast and I miss him already.



Slow down Luke. I know you are already so big and strong, but you are still the infant I held in my arms just yesterday. I know you are excited to learn, but I'm not done teaching you yet. You are racing towards the day when your friends will be more interesting to you, but I'm not willing to stop cuddling you.

There's so much about you that is ready to bloom. I can't wait to see the person you will become. But you have to forgive me, because as proud as I am of who you are growing into, it's the little boy with the blue eyes that I will hold in my heart forever.

Oval vs. Circle

Luke, Max and I were lying in bed this morning, snuggling and enjoying one of our last lazy mornings together before kindergarten.

For no reason, Luke starts studying the space between the bed and my nightstand. Then he proclaims to Max, "Hey Max, your head can fit in here because your head's an oval. Mine won't because it's a circle."

What? Where did that come from and why is he thinking of fitting anyone's head into such a small space?

What do you want to be?

The other day, I asked Luke what he wants to be when he grows up. He replied policeman.

Then I asked Max. "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Max's reply... "a grownup."
