Today marked the FIRST of Asher's many school days to come!
WAIT...
... did I just write "Asher" and "School" in the same sentence?
When did we blink? What happened to our baby... our newborn we just brought home from the hospital... our little bundle who kept us up all night because he needed held and rocked in our arms -- sooo maybe he still keeps us up many a night wanting to curl up in our bed instead of his own. But still...
I can't believe Asher will turn 5 in a week!
Where. Has. The. Time. Gone???
And the crazy part -- I know it will only go faster from here on out. WHAT??? No.... Really? Yes. And I am already preparing myself for even busier schedules. Days that will be filled with carpools, school meetings and events, practices, concerts...you name it!
Strangely though, there is a part of me that is excited for this new chapter. I'm excited to see how Asher will do in school. What will he like? What will he dislike? What new talents will be revealed? Will Asher gravitate more towards sports... or music... or favor academics?
All I know is that I love our growing boy more than these words that I type. He has a way of brightening up a room with his smile. His laughter can fill the air and lighten any mood. He is strong-willed and a determined little thing. And I know that it is going to take him far in life.
So go Asher (I say so hesitantly). Take these next steps with pride and confidence. And know mommy and daddy are right behind you should you stumble or fall. We will be there to catch you and put you right back on your feet. We Love you!
Here are some pictures of Asher's first big day of Pre-K! Yes. I did tell myself that I wasn't going to be "that mom" who had to take a gazillion pics of their child's first day. But, WHO WAS I KIDDING? Of course I did! This was a big first for all of us :)
