As Todd and i were talking today about moving to Lubbock and what neighborhood we wanted to live in and what not and what needs to be done to get Christopher in Pre-K, I realized that I don't have a baby anymore!!! He is his own little person. Not that I haven't noticed it before now, trust me - he has a mind of his own and will do things HIS way or it's the highway (he gets that from me, I hate to admit!). It is just that he is going to go to SCHOOL this fall!!!! The 4 (almost 5) years he has been in our lives, seems to have just flown by and I think I have taken it for granted. You would think that after losing a baby when he was 6 months old, I wouldn't. And I didn't when Christopher was 6, 8, 10 and 12 months old. But after he started walking and talking (which, by the way, he does not have an "Off" button!) things just started going full speed ahead! We got a Wal-Mart circular in the mail the other day and it hit me RIGHT then - we have to buy school supplies!!!!!!!!!! I am not ready for this. It is not like dropping him off at daycare. I just don't know how to explain it. My baby is growing up and I don't particularly like it. When did he get old enough to start school?! Things were so much easier when all we had to deal with were diapers, bottles and a feeding schedule....
What is it going to be like when he graduates from high school?? I shudder to think..... But, as Scarlett O'Hara said in one of my favorite movies: "I'll think about that tomorrow." and I will, but first I have to think about sending him to Pre-K!!!!!
