It all started because two people fell in love…
After my hubby and I were married for a couple of years, we began to start a family of our own. The moment we became parents, the Earth shifted a little and our lives were forever changed.
Our beautiful baby boy was born in September of 2005. Why am I writing about this now?
Well, I am getting a little nostalgic because not only does my son have a birthday coming up, my little guy officially started Pre-school. You see, before I was lucky enough to be a WAHM, I was working full-time as an elementary school teacher and my son began attending day-care at ten months old. So I’ve already been through that whole experience, including the crazy change that comes with the territory of letting go. The transition back then was a huge adjustment for both of us. As I wrote about it in the past, this was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. So it’s not the fact that he’s out of the home that’s affecting me right now, because I’ve gone through all that…
It’s for the single reason that my little boy is, well, growing up.
4 months…
Turned to 34 months…
Turned to almost 4 years….
…in a flash.
At this time in my life, I look at my son with his ‘big boy’ backpack and killer smile…and I realize these really are days to remember.
Because 4 months turned to 4 years…and somehow, it feels like 4 minutes.
That is oh so true! My oldest is going to be 7 and she amazes me everyday! It seems just yesterday she was in Kindergarten, but that was years ago … she's now a big second grader, girl scout and soccer player! Time flies by and I am sure it will with my two boys too! Happy but sad at the same time!

I've been trying to sort out the growing up for the kids the last 2 weeks. Seeing 3 of them go to school, at least part of the day. And then D-man is going to be an official 6 months in a few days. It has been really hard for me. Bittersweet moments.
Oh honey, you're so right. In a blink he'll be driving a car and going to prom. It really does go by soooo fast, just like they said it would. I just love the pictures of your little guy and he looks SOO happy heading off to school! Lots of fun memories are in store for you! ♥
This post is so sweet! Your little one is absolutely adorable. Thanks for your fabulous comments on my blog, you're an awesome supporter!
what a cutie. I'm there with you…it goes so fast (yet on rainy days painfully slow too)
Cute pictures! The time sure does fly by. I just started my 3 year old in preschool/daycare. The tears each morning are killing me. But the teacher says he is fine 5 minutes after I leave. Ugh!
I know, it all happens so quickly, doesn't it? In a blink of an eye!!
My son just started kindergarten and my daughter is about to start private school. Time goes by so fast…one minute your giving birth and the next they're riding the bus to school. We should all take the time to treasure these precious moments.
Great pic of your little guy – he looks so excited to go to school! They definitely look like such big kids with their backpacks that are half their size & mega-watt smiles to match. It's all going by so fast…guess I'll have to have another one to re-live those baby years again, lol.
I know…time goes by so fast! The days are so long, but the years are so short! I constantly feel that way! And he is absolutely adorable.
I want to cry. I just want to cry! I don't know how I'm going to be able to let go!
It does just zoom by! I always say lucky for my son I had two more children or I would probably be sitting right next to him in his 1st grade class. I had the hardest time leaving him at preschool he was my little precious baby. The only hard time he was having was getting rid of me,lol.
It is definitely true what they say, every second counts and enjoy every minute!
You look fabulous and your little man is TOO darling! Love the pics Theta Mom!

Awww, Heather I know to well hw you feel. My oldest, Joshua, will be 13 in October : ( I've been dreading it because I wish I could hold my lil man in my arms again. It's something that moms go through, time goes by much faster when you are a good mommy.
Stay blessed.
Aw Theta Mum, I know the feeling. And mine's still only 18 months old!! I always try and remember to really hold on to these days with him and enjoy every moment because too soon will be the day I help him pack for University.
