The Night Before Kindergarten.....

Dear William, 
 You are soundly sleeping now, with your "jitter glitter" under you pillow. Tomorrow is the big day.....your first day of "real" school. You are so ready my sweet boy. You are smart and curious and social and friendly. You are going to take kindergarten by storm. And yet, there's a big part of your mama that is sad. My baby is a baby no more. These preschool years have flown by too quickly. Starting tomorrow, I begin to slowly release you to the world. In 12 years, that release will be complete. My prayer is that you are a light for our Lord wherever you are. That you can maintain your innocence for as long as possible. That you will take advantage of every opportunity given to you.

 I have loved our first five years of adventures together. We were partners in crime day and night. And though now some things will change with school, some things will not. You will always be my baby boy.  And I will always be here to listen and hug you and encourage you. 

Go get 'em, buddy!
