Blank Pages

In just two shorts weeks, we’ll have two kids in elementary school.

How is that possible?

We have turned in all but one form to the school office, shopped for a {big boy} backpack, tried on and purchased new Vans, picked up a few t-shirts here, some shorts there and checked off the school supply list with things like crayons, plastic folder, glue sticks, etc.

It seems like just yesterday my Target lists included diapers, wipes, Gerber puffs and jarred baby food.

Now he asks that all his shirts display a skull and crossbones…

In just 2 short weeks, he/we will be starting a whole new chapter.

Trying so hard to fill the last blank pages of this chapter with fun memories. No more impromptu play dates on a Wednesday morning. No more lounging in pajamas ’til lunch.

My baby will be in school five days a week from about 8am – 2pm. He will have sight words and homework.

But at the same time, he’ll make new friends {which he’s really good at!} and will hopefully develop a love for school just as Elliott did.

Speaking of blank pages…he has just two untouched pages in his baby book that I’ve been dilligently keeping for the past almost 5 1/2 years…

“My First School Day”

With lots of blanks to fill in ~ what I wore, teacher’s name, what I was proud of, names of my new friends and a spot for his picture.

Looking forward to scanning the bulletin board for his name to see who his teacher will be and getting started on his educational career.

He’s ready.

Not sure if I am.

Those last two pages in the {baby book} will be hard to complete….
