New Beginnings

How has this happened?  Where has the time gone? How did this...

 Become this??

 

Carter was selected by lottery to attend our public school systems Pre-K program. 

We were super excited by the news because SO many people apply and only around 230 kids get in. After the initial excitment I started having my reservations...he's to young...what if he gets hurt...what if he is bullied...what if HE is the bully...I'll miss him...

A lot of "what ifs" but when it comes down to it this is where Carter wants/needs to be. He is such a smart little guy and he is going to learn so much. Plus it's only four days a week for three hours...not long at all! On the selfish side I am SO excited to have some time to myself (JackJack takes his nap while Carter is away), to work on some projects that I have neglected!! Hopefully my house will be cleaner, the blog will be up to date and we will all be happier.

Highlights of Carters first day:

• Carter didn't cry
• I didn't cry
• He didn't even realize when I left the room
• Parking was horrible!! We had to park literally 1/2 mile away and hike in
• Jackson loves to play in the sand box while waiting for Carter to get out of class
• Loves his new Mario backpack form Nana and Pop Pop 

According to Carter:

•  Everything was fun
• He learned everything
• Played everything
•  Is friends with everyone
• Had corn dogs for a snack

And this little guys is sad because he cant go too.
