(Picture is quite fuzzy, sorry about that)
Well, it's almost time. Peyton will be headed off to school on August 30th (less than 3 weeks away!?!?) He's very excited about the idea of leaving "baby school" (which is what he has been calling daycare lately..no idea where he got that from) and going to "KinDEgarten" (I love the way he pronounces it). I know I worry for no reason, I just am having a hard time separating from the idea of my baby being such a big boy already. 5 years flew by too fast and I'm not ready for him to be independent...or more independent than he already is cause we all know that kid has been trying to take care of himself since he was born!!
As I type this, Chris has taken him to the school to meet with the principal for a "reading comprehension" analysis. This will determine what group he goes in in school. He knows all of his letters and numbers, he can count to 20 (at least..sometimes more) and knows what sounds some of the letters make. He can write his name and spell it out loud without looking at it written down. I know he's ready for school...it can only help his development. You see how I'm trying to convince myself here?!?! I'm a mess!
His glasses will be in by Saturday. He has no problem with the idea of wearing them and Chris is super smart and got him the titanium ones that won't break (I think they're called forced flex where you can bend them any which way and they don't break) so I know they're an investment and will help him in school.
Peyton is a good boy and I'm so proud of him...it's a pleasure to be his mother. His newest thing is telling me he's "got to tell me a secret and I can't tell anyone" (which I'm clearly breaking the pact by blogging about it) when I promise (again, broken) that I won't, he says "You're the BEST Mommy in the world and I love you very much". Every single time it gets me warm and fuzzy. But the truth is, I'm a good Mommy because he's my son. He has made it easy for me to be his mother from the moment he was born...he was always so easy-going with the learning curve that it takes new mothers to adjust to. We never know EVERYTHING there is to know about Motherhood (no matter how much we try to tell ourselves and others that we do) and learn something new every day but having such an amazing, kind, generous, loving child like Peyton makes it a lot easier to learn. That kid is my heart, he taught me love, compassion and kindness just by coming in to this world. My angel sent from Heaven becasue God knew I needed him.
When he was just a wee lad
