Mixed Emotions
We just put Aiden to bed about a half an hour ago, and I suddenly have this wave of mixed emotions. I’m excited that he starts Kindergarten tomorrow. I know he is, too.
There’s a part of me that’s kind of sad, though. As I was tucking him in, it suddenly dawned on me how quickly he’s already grown. The next time he’s going to go through a totally new adventure like this is when he goes away to college – and I realized that it’s really not as far away as I’d like to think.
Christy and I are taking him to school tomorrow for his first day. There’s some kind of parent/child assembly with the Kindergartners, or something like that. We’ll see how tomorrow goes.
I’m sure I’ll have more to say about this, but I’m still kind of processing it right now.

Welcome to the full arrival to parenthood! They grow up fast and that’s what I have been trying to tell you all (John and Tracie included)it just happens so fast. That’s why I always say to parents that they need to give thier full attention to thier kids now, because I know what it’s like to regret not putting them first everytime. I know you all are great parents but just remember the above

I can’t believe he’s going to school either. Doesn’t he realize the commitment that he is making? This is just the start of many many years to come.
I remember sleeping at the hospital waiting for Aiden to be born! I remember the first time we walked up to your house and I could tell that he KNEW who we were.. And now.. he can practically read. We’re praying that he loves school and that he wishes that he could be there on the weekends. 🙂
