Our last first day of no school has come and gone. I have read so many posts about sending kids off to school, many for the first time, and even though they weren't my kids, it made me tear up just thinking about it. It also made me realize how grateful I am to have one more year. One more year of sleeping in and snuggling up watching cartoons in my bed in the morning, one more year of not catching buses or packing lunches, one more year of days to do anything we want to do, like spending the day at the park bruising our foreheads (Canon), and thankfully, one more year to prepare for sending my babies off to school. One more year of these sweet little monsters all to myself.
Almost every day I tease Aiden that I'm going to make him 3 on his next birthday. To which he always replies, "Mommy, I have to be 5 and go to school. I have to grow up and get bigger like you."
One more year... I have a feeling it is going to go way too fast.
