School Days!

Well the boys all started school this past Thursday. I always thought the day they would all be in school was so far away, and now it is here. I can't believe my little boys are getting so big. I tell them all the time that one day they will be bigger than mommy, and they always look so shocked! I wish I could hold on to their innocence forever. I wish they would stay my "little" boys.

Mason is in the 3rd grade this year. He has two of his really good friends in his class, so he was really excited about that. I can't believe he is in 3rd grade. I remember 3rd grade like it was yesterday! And to think he is going to the same school as I did is even harder to believe. I have pictures of his dad and I on the same playground that he plays on every day :). I am so proud of Mason and I know he will have a great year. I look at him every day and thank God for giving me such a kind hearted, loving little boy.

Davis is a big Kindergartener this year!! I thought it would be a repeat of me crying, like I did with Mason when he was that age, when I dropped him off...but he walked into his classroom with such confidence and pride, I was sooo proud of him. He kept making sure I was there, but he also made sure he did everything on his own. It was definitely bittersweet to watch my little guy act so grown up and ready to take on his "Big" school.

And then was Mr. Gibbers. He started Pre-K this year. When I dropped him off to go to his class it absolutely broke my heart. If you know Gibson you know that he is NEVER at a loss for words and is always silly. When I dropped him off for school the first day he didn't say a word, and he held on to my leg the whole time. It was so out of character for him, so I knew he was a little scared (although he would never admit it, stubborn like his momma like that). But I gave him a million hugs and kisses and he finally was ready to let me go.

Talk about a roller coaster of emotions that day. I definitely spent the day reflecting on how the past 8 years have flown by and wondering where I would be if I didn't have three amazing little boys to love me each and every day.

I am a very proud mom and as much as it makes me sad to see them grow up, I look forward to watching them every step of the way!
