It didn't take me long, however, to discover all the benefits of having a child in school. I went to Costco and was able to bypass all the books, movies, and food samples. I was able to get in and out quickly and even look at the home good section. I was able to shop for snacks without someone trying to coerce me into buying the most sugary and most unhealthy of snacks. It was fabulous.
Don't get me wrong though, as the clock ticked closer to the hour for me to pick him up, I began to be anxious to get him. As I drove to get him, my thoughts were consumed with making it to the school in time for him that he wouldn't be scared or nervous (since he did ask to be sure that I was coming back for him when I left). And with each passing mile, I began to miss him exponentially more. I was happy to see him and even happier to hear about his big day.
School looks like it's going to be a great thing. LL wants to be an Astronaut when he gets older and we've told him he has to do all his school and study really hard so that he is ready when he grows up. Yesterday I realized he doesn't understand what that means at all because he asked if he was now ready to go into space. Ah, you've gotta love kids.

That's so sweet. It's so weird when you drop them off, huh?
P.S. Don't tell LL that the space shuttle program was shut down...
WOW! Boy was I surprised to see he's started school! Oh my. He's growing up & I feel the excitement of this new transition of growth! ENJOY every minute of it cuz it goes by so fast!
Time sure does go by so fast! LL is so grown up! I love it that he wants to be an astronaut, so did I! I always remember when my kids went to school, it was really hard to let them go! I cried all the way home the day Joseph went, but I got in my car and signed up to finish college!:)
