Y'all, about a week and a half ago, I registered our oldest lil man for KINDERGARTEN!
Now, I'm both happy and sad for this experience.
On one hand, I just know that he is going to LOVE school! He gets so excited to learn new things, he loves to see his friends, and he loves feeling older and more independent. (On our way there, he said, "Kids go without their grown-ups to school, right? Moms and Dads aren't at school." :) He is definitely excited about this new identity as a really big kid.) And I'm totally excited for him to have this new experience!
But, on the other hand, I feel like the years are now officially numbered until my baby grows up, becomes a man, and begins his own life! I know, I can be a tad dramatic. ;)
Obviously, we are a ways off from that, and I try my hardest to enjoy every single precious day I have with my lil men. But, days like this, where he officially becomes older just tug at my heart a little bit heavier.

You can't see it well in the picture, but he got a sticker that says "Registered Hippo." :)

I'm constantly reminded that, "The days are long, but the years are short." And, it's so true.
