It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!!!

Reading some of my favorite blogs, most of my blogging buddy's kids have been in school for weeks now, and I've been waiting....

FOREVER!

But today is the day that my son finally started kindergarten! He was really excited to get going. Two weeks ago the grades 1 and up started school and Ducky has been watching the buses everyday and asks why he isn't going to school yet.

Believe me child, with the whining and yelling and constant "Mommy...", I was willing to send you up a grade just so I can hear silence or maybe be able to heal the headache that you and Chicky insist on making worse everyday.

So as you can see I was a bit more excited to see him go. He's one of those kids who needs to be around other kids and have a schedule to follow and get away from mommy and baby sister. I love that he is independent!

He came home and told how great of a day he had and could not wait to go back soon. Once he had his snack, I was digging into his backpack and found a note for me and Cpl. Mayhem. Since I know there is no way that he could have cause trouble to have a note sent home.

Nope it was a note that read:

I made a puzzle just for you
at school on my very first day.
It's made with love and my hand print,
In a very special way.
Now you can sit down on the floor
With your favorite Kindergarten kid.
We'll put it together while I tell you about,
All the fin things we did!

And when I looked into the envelope, there it was. The hand print. That's when I realized, after thinking I'm not going to cry over the fact that my child is growing up, or going to Kindergarten.

But after I saw the hand print....

I couldn't help but tear up!
