Two Lunches

Tomorrow is the first day at the boys "school".

This will be Cannon's last year at this "school". Its not really a "school". They do have a curriculum and Cannon has learned so much, but he only goes 2 days a week for 8 hours. Next year, the plan is that he will go to a "real" school for his Pre-K/K4. I cannot believe that this is my last year with him before he is gone 4-5 days a week. How did he grow up so fast?

I know very soon I will be looking at a high school graduate. Everyone says that their childhood goes by so fast. How can 18 years be fast? Trust me I know it is. It seems like only yesterday we were blessed with this sweet boy, but he is very close to being 4 years old.

This little boy so desperately wants to be BIG and I just want to keep him little. I just want to savor these times with him.

Sutton will start "school" tomorrow for the first time. I still cannot believe I actually layed out his clothes, packed his backpack and his lunchbox. Up until tonight I still wasn't sure if I was going to take him and as I write this I am wondering...

He is such a baby to me and to little to be away from Mommy a whole 8 hours a week. I want to hold on to the "baby" in him, keep him small, close.

Give me the noise, the chaos, the mess, the piles of laundry, the sink full of dishes, the cookies crushed all over the kitchen floor, the jelly ground into the carpet, the yelling. Give me this and all the cuddles and snuggles and kisses and love. Give me more, more, more...I know all to soon that my home will be to quiet.
