I'M GETTING OLD!!

REASONS WHY I FEEL OLD:

Tyson started first grade last week. How can that be? It seems like yesterday he was just a little baby. Tyson thinks that he is old enough to walk to school by himself this year. I told him that he wasn't that old. I made a deal with him that I would drop him off at the school boundries by the park and he could walk to his classroom. Because I'm not ready to see him grow up I still take him to the outside door and wait for him there after school. It is funny because I used to never be like this with him. Tyson had several devlopmental delays and had to be enrolled in the special education program. When he turned three he had to ride the school bus to preschool. I never worried about him getting it school. He rode the bus for three years before he started at Cascade and now I have to make sure that he gets into school just fine. Tyson no longer has to have the special programs. He worked really hard over the last four years. Tyson we are proud of you and we love you.

Curtis and Connor go to preschool again this year. I'm totally grateful for the break but it makes me realize that in a year they will be in kindergarten. I can remember the days where I thought that I wouldn't make it to this day where they go school. We are grateful that we have them. It is fun to watch them play together and we are grateful that they came together. I will miss having someone with me at home all day.

Last thursday we needed to go Kayla Goodrich's wedding reception. You are probably wondering how a wedding reception can make me feel old. I used to babysit Kayla from the time she was three. I have known Kayla for seventeen years and it doesn't seem like it. Kayla also babysat Tyson when he was a baby. It is hard to believe that the little girl who loved to play outside is married now. I didn't feel old untl I saw pictures of Kayla and me at my wedding, she was one of bridesmaids.

We have the Wii fit to go along with the Wii. I know that I'm getting old because my boys can do the exercises longer than I can. I guess I just have accept it that I'm getting old and enjoy life.

I know what you mean about feeling old! That will be bittersweet to have all your boys away at school....but also probably such a nice break at the same time. The pics of your boys on facebook are so cute. They have grown-up so much. Cute!!
