First day of kindergarten...

I really can't believe it . My first baby is going to Kindergarten. I am so proud of him..

first year at preschool!!

Now for seven hours a day he will be on his own without me. .I feel like this is his first real step into this Big world . I want to protect him from everything but I know that's not going to happen.

I don't want him to be sad when one kid at school doesn't want to play with him, I don't want him to be embarrassed if the teacher calls on him and he doesn't know the answer and I don't ever want someone to break his heart.  But unfortunately it is going to happen . So I will just be here to listen and offer hugs.

nice backpack

I remember all of his firsts like they were yesterday his first roll, his first steps, his first words, his first day of preschool.
There are still so many more firsts to come and I  will cherish those. The first school project is one I think we be a lot of fun.
I will miss having him with me on errand day.

walking to class

To Colton on your first day of Kindergarten
I'm so proud of you !!!

I have watched you grow into a little man
I have kissed your boo boo's and wiped your nose
tied your shoes and  read bedtime stories
sometimes the same story over and over again..
pretended to be a monster or dinosaur
played peek-a-boo for hours
Built forts in the living room

played hide and seek
tickled you for hours
answered your why and why not questions over and over again

watched the same movie ten times(shark boy and lava girl)
stayed by your side and cried with you on shot day at the doctor.
I watched you learn to sit, roll, crawl, walk, and run !!
Celebrated at each appointment as you grew..

You used to cry every day when I left you at preschool
and as soon as I got to my car I would cry.


I kissed your palms every day at preschool like Chester the raccoon, one of your favorite books and told you to hold those kisses for when you need them most.
I will do the same every day of kindergarten!!!

Today I will walk you into the classroom and leave you with your teacher.
When I walk away I will be sad  but also I will have joy in my heart because you are growing into the person God wants you to be..
I will miss you my little man ...
I know you will be okay ...
You are amazing...You are special ..
See you after school and I can't wait to hear all about your first day !!!!


I will probably make it to the car before I start bawling my eyes out (I hope )

Love mommy
