Time flies!

One of Logan's favorite monster trucks (well, it was one of his faves yesterday. It'll be different today) is called Time Flies.

Holy crap, does it ever!

I am not really in the mood to blog this morning but I will share a couple things that blew my mind about my little Logan yesterday.

First, as I dropped him off at preschool I noticed he was yet again sprouting out of his jeans. The bottoms of them were a couple inches above his shoes somehow, magically, overnight.

So I headed over to Kohl's to get the next size up. I was wandering around the toddler's section forever, looking for 5T. Finally, I asked an employee.

What?!

I have to go WHERE?!

My baby's not in the toddler section anymore?!

Nope. He wears a BOYS 4 now. No more "T" size clothes.

And you know what that means? The jeans that were once $14.99 are now $24.99, just because they have an extra couple inches of denim. Joy.

Then I went home and got the mail. There was a bulletin from the local school district about KINDERGARTEN ROUND-UP. It's coming. In March. I am going to have to go sign my baby up for kindergarten.

I REMEMBER parts of kindergarten, for Pete's sake! I kissed a BOY in kindergarten. I lost my first TOOTH in kindergarten. I got teased by FIRST GRADERS in kindergarten.

Oh. My. Goodness! My baby's growing up!

And I'm just a mess about it.

*********

Well, as if he knew I needed it, during that pause there, he called for me (he's still in bed) so I went up there and he asked me to snuggle with him, which I gladly did. After about a minute and a half, he announced "OK, enough snuggling Mom!" and rolled over to go back to sleep.

awwwww.....

I love my little man, who has gone from this



to this (almost 5!!!!!) SO QUICKLY!



Slow down, buddy. Mom needs to catch her breath!

That post gave me chills because I know that time is going to pass so quickly with Makenzie, yet I still can't imagine it. Where does time go? He'll always be your little man though.

I feel ya!

My kiddo has been out of toddler clothes for a while since he's so tall. It stinks having to pay so much more.

Ahhhh yes! Such a bittersweet time for me too. Amara has been growing steadily since she was 4 as well. One moment her pants are too big and the next she is wearing floods! I handled kindergarten better then I thought. I am mostly nervous about the full day 1st grade!!!
