My "baby" is really, really gone. He is so big. Whe I first came to this new board, and the '05 kids were in the "kindergarten years" file, I was like what??? They are toddlers. Andrew isn't a toddler anymore. He's an actual kid.
I feel like he's slipping further away from me everyday. Before we leave the house, he runs Jasper, the dog, down the driveway for him to go potty. We live on 5 acres, so it's a long driveway. He can do it by himself. We had Kindergarten registration on Monday. We went to the big kids school, where we are supposed to drop him off starting in Aug for 7 1/2 hours a day.
Steve pointed out that we do have another baby coming. I was like, so what, we should have a kid every 2-3 years so I can always have a baby??? He was like, ummm no... LOL! Besides, even if I had 15 babies, none of them would be Andrew.
Maybe it's hormones, or not being on my Lexapro while preggo, but I just feel down about so much stuff, and seeing these school pics we just got back, is making Andrew look so old.
well I'm not PG and I think the same thing all of the time
cole isn't starting kinder next year, we're putting him in a bridge program, but he still seems so big. he has an opinion about everything and is quite the little character. i adore this age but think about his baby stages a lot. i wish i could just freeze him right now...hell typing this, I'm crying...and I'm not even PG. LOLz.
Im in the same boat - I cant believe how grown up they seem! Kiera asked me the other day if I couldnt wait until she could drive. I was like, yeah, Im not in any hurry. lol.
OMG I am totally the same right now. I have had so many life changes in the last year and all of the sudden the other day my sister looked at me and said OMG Lucas is gonna be 5. I burst into tears. It's even harder because he IS going to kindergarten. On time, into a main stream classroom which we were not sure he would be doing just a few short years ago. I definitely miss my little snuggly toddler but I am enjoying the "kid", I just wish this stage lasted longer, I have put too many kids through school and know how different it will all be in a year or two :(

I really don't understand how people keep on living their lives after their kids move out. We go from changing their diapers, feeding them, taking care of everything, and then, they leave.
Being a parent is stupid!
I don't want Andrew to grow up to be a weirdo, but... I do tell him "There's nothing wrong with livin' with Mama forever". Steve always says, "Yeah, there is". LOL
