Owls & Knights

 

I can’t believe I have a preschooler and a kindergartener, *tears* How did my babies grow up so dang fast?

Carson had his first day at Miss Kim’s on Tuesday August 28th. Sean didn’t start until the following week so he was so excited to help his little brother and show him his old stomping ground.  Carson did so good when I left. I gave him a big hug and kiss and said “bye Carsy mom loves you” and said “k, luv you too”, And that was that, I left my little guy. *sniffle* It didn’t hit me until I was in the car driving, then came the tears. When I picked him up he had the BIGGEST grin on his face and he ran and gave me a BIG hug. When I asked him what he did at school he said “played with toys, got stickers, and ate snacks!”  What a life!!

So stinkin’ cute

 

Can’t get enough of that cute face!

Miss Kim takes lots of pictures during class and posts them every month, I love that I get to see what he is up to in class. Here are a few from Miss Kim.

Sean started kindergarten on Thursday September 6th. He was really excited to go. That morning he got a call from Tommy and grandma to wish him good luck and to have lots of fun at school. I made sure he had his backpack, sunglasses (and an extra pair in his backpack, just incase), we all hopped in the car and headed to Silver Crest Elementary. I have passed the elementary school for over 2 years thinking it would be SO long until I had to worry about sending my little Sean to kindergarten. Well….that day came and my little boy is growing up (like it or not) That morning I woke up around 2:00 and was filled with anxiety about sending Sean off to school. All these “what if’s” filled my head and my mind was racing a mile a minute.  That morning when I saw how excited and calm Sean was, I was finally able to be relax. I am so thankful and blessed that Tommy was able to use his Priesthood and give Sean a fathers blessing the night before for his first day of school. I just need to remember that I need one next year too! We headed into the kindergarten doors, passed the picture of the lion on the wall (so the kids can remember where to turn) and out to the kindergarten playground. I was pretty calm and relaxed, but still a little nervous not knowing how Sean was going to do when it came time for me to leave.  He saw some of his neighborhood and preschool friends there and played with them until the bell rang. He remembered exactly where he needed to line up. Out comes his teacher Mrs. Cloward. “Ok breathe, you can do this” I thought to myself. I gave Sean a high five, told him I loved him and that I would be back to pick him up later. With a big smile on his face, he said “Ok. Love you too, see you soon!) "Wow!! that was easy, I watched as his class walked into the school. Ok, not to bad, I was dang proud of myself. Me and Carson headed back home so we could wait for his carpool to pick him up for school. We got in the car, I called my mom and told her how good he did, then the tears came.  It just hit me like a ton of bricks and I couldn’t believe how fast my sweet boys are growing up. I love them so much, the are my whole world!! Ashlee showed me this poem and it pretty much sums up how I felt sending Carson to preschool and Sean to Kindergarten. 

I wonder what you’re doing right now,

And if everyone is treating you kind.

I hope there is a special person,

A nice friend that you can find.

 

I wonder if the teacher knows

Just how special you are to me.

And if the brightness of your heart

Is something she can see.

 

I wonder if you are thinking about me,

And if you need a hug.

I already miss the sound of you voice

And how you give my leg a tug.

 

I wonder if you could possibly understand

How hard it is for me to let you grow.

On this day know that my heart breaks.

For this is the fist step in letting my

baby go.

Time to say “see ya soon”

 

Time to line up

 

and just like that he’s gone

 

And before I know it, it’s time to pick him up. He got a cupcake in class to celebrate his first day

 

After getting both boys off to school I met up with some of my friends who just dropped off there kindergarteners and we went to breakfast at Kneaders, Yummers! After that I walked around Kohl's not knowing what to do with myself with no kids. Ha ha

 

Sean had an awesome first week (2 days) of school. So proud of my 2 little men!

Love to see Sean’s drawings

 

“thumbs up” to a fun second day of school

 

Now I pass Herriman High school almost every day and I think it is going to be SO long until I send them to high school. Well…..thank goodness I still have a few years until that happens, but I know that day is going to be here in a blink of an eye.
