So Ty is off in the big world now and I have to let go and trust that God will take care of my baby! This is a hard transition for every mom but I am trying to trust in a FAITHFUL God that He knows the plans He has for Ty and I need to step back and watch Him work. Tyler has been very excited for school to start (Until last night, ha ha!) so that has helped. The kindergarten teachers sent home a special packet of "Ready Confetti" for each of the kindergarteners. It has a sweet little poem about putting this confetti under your pillow the night before school and it will help you be rested and ready for your first day of school, etc..Really cute! So Ty usually loves this kind of stuff..so we put it under his pillow before bed. About an hour and 15 minutes later I hear him banging around upstairs. I go up to check and he is mad and throwing his confetti away. I ask what the problem is and I can tell he is on the verge of tears. He says " This stuff is stupid and I am not rested or ready for kindergarten!" I can tell it is more than that so I probe further......He says he is afraid and nervous and doesn't want to go to school and meet new friends. We talked for awhile and I let him cry. (Luckily I was able to hold my crying for later!) And he finally fell asleep 2 hours after I wanted him to : ) So I was feeling terrible and trying to think of a way to get us out of this kindergarten mess. Ha ha! Is it too late to home school? I miss my baby already!!!! We took him in this morning and as you can see he smiled for his pictures and perked up a little from last night...Tough little guy. When it was time for us to leave I could tell he was trying to be strong but he put his head down, I am not sure but he may have cried a little. I know in my heart he is fine though..he is smart and friendly and helpful and who could not love this kid!!! As for the home schooling...If this doesn't get easier I am looking into this quickly...ha ha!

Hi Andi, I can't believe how fast 5 years has gone by. Ty will do great in Kindergarten. Ty and Jake are both such a cutie pies. I'll have to say I laughed and cried as I read your blog about the first day of kindergarten. What memories came back to me. You would think these things would get easier as your babies get older. For the first couple of months after Chad went to college I continued to set the dinner table for 4 instead of 3. Eventually I accepted the fact that he wasn't coming home for dinner every night - and he was only at Lindenwood (30 min from home).haha And then there was the first time we left Kyle in a dorm room in a town in Texas that I was sure had to be at the end of the earth! I cried all the way home (12 hours). Mark asked if I was going to be ok. I just said "yes, not today but eventually). All I can say is the Lord gets our kids through these times and He graciously brings us moms through them too. Love you guys, aunt kim
