All grown up

As I sit here pretending to watch bachelor pad...all I can think about is my baby growing up too fast in front of my eyes.  Hunter starts kindergarten tomorrow and I'm consumed with bittersweet emotions. I'm so grateful at the time he and I have had, the person he has become, the love that I've experienced with him, the feeling that he is ready for kindergarten and I'm so happy about that.   My mother-in-law says you don't forget sending him off to kindergarten because it's like one book closing and a new book opening.  The closing of baby years, toddler tantrums, preschool excitement and the opening of "real school", homework, plays, sports, and oh so much learning and fun.  All and all I am excited for Hunter but I'm allowing myself to swim in a little self-pity tonight as I long for that sweet little baby boy I used to put to sleep on my chest each night.  Love you Hunter!
