First of all.  Veto.  I veto all of this ‘getting bigger’ nonsense.  I used to hate it when mom’s were always griping about how sad they were about kids growing up.  I seriously used to roll my eyes so hard at all that silly talk.  I.Take.It.All.Back.

Alison and Reed both moved up classes today.  Ali jumped ahead a room and she is now on the preschool side and not the day care side.  I can’t believe my tiny little 2 year old is in preschool.  I wasn’t prepared for that one.

Reed also moved up and he is now in the kinder prep class.  I had no idea, but this is a legit kinder prep class.  They have workbooks.  They do math.  And science.  And reading.  And homework!!!  They even get to go on field trips!!!  I am so, so thankful for all the kinder prep Reed will get this year.  He is so stubborn and resistant to change.  I think this will make all the difference for him.  I think he will have a much easier transition into kinder after being in the class he’s in this year.  I hate that I was so clueless about the changes that were coming, but I am so thankful for the kids school.  When I’m sad about working, I remind myself of the fantastic instruction they are getting each day.  Makes it a whole lot easier to run the rat race everyday.

There isn’t just one picture from this morning.  You have to see all of them to understand their sweet little personalities.  Gosh I love them all so stinking much.  Thank you Lord for entrusting these little souls in our care.  I couldn’t ask for anything more!!!

(Jake doesn’t start day care until Sept. 3.  I still get 3 more days at home with him!!!)
