Well this morning I took T-money to his first day of high school. It was crazy because I was thinking it would be no big deal. But, as I pulled up to the school I started getting nostalgic of my first day of high school and how fast it all goes; and then of course I was a mess. I cannot believe that my first baby is three and a half years away from being a legal adult. I cannot believe he is in the home stretch of his primary education and soon will be out in the real world. It really goes by in the blink of an eye. I can still remember him crawling all over me when I would sit on the floor with him, I can remember his CONSTANT crying from the colic he had for his first four months of life. I can remember all the times he would get SO excited that the garbage man was out front picking up our garbage. He would RUN to the front of the house as fast as he could, carrying his stanky blanket behind him and he would jump on the couch staring out the front window. "GARBAGE MAN! GARBAGE MAN!" he would yell. He would do the same thing when he would hear a motorcycle driving by. He would stop whatever he was doing and make a run for the front window: "MOTORGEEKLE" he would yell! And now the same little boy who would watch the sprinklers with the same fascination most children have watching fireworks, is a mini-man, starting off on a whole new adventure called "high school". I mean, if you think about it... you do so much growing and changing in those final four years. Hey, I started off being an innocent baby who had never even KISSED a boy in 9th grade to a knocked up wild child by the end of my senior year. Who knows what the next four years has in store for us. I can only hope that I can reign his little boney butt in and keep him on the right path.
I can honestly say that dropping him off this morning gave me the same bittersweet feelings I had dropping Piggy off for his first day of daycare. I was glad he was going and new it was what was best for him, but inside I know its the beginning of all these changes that I'm not ready for. That is all I have time to write right now, but I'll probably write more later, especially when I find out how his first week goes!
