big day

well, tomorrow is kieran's first day or kindergarten. i can hardly believe it. sometimes i think about those first few weeks with him as a newborn, 5 years ago. aaron and i suddenly plunged into parenthood, completely overwhelmed by feedings, changings, sleep deprivation and our boy, so new and helpless like a baby bird. elementary school seemed like a million miles away and in a way it feels like we've come that far to get here, when it's only been 5 years.....

i am so proud of kieran and so excited, i know he's going to love this adventure.

not to be outdone, andie is starting mother's morning out and she can wait to bring a backpack, play with lots of kids, and have snacks! i am really curious to see how it goes dropping her off, she's inclined to be a little clingy at times, but she's been watching kieran go off to school and camp and playdates and i think she's getting excited to be a big kid and go to school too.

i'll have to post back with the results of the drop-offs....think happy thoughts!
