They were both so excited to get to wear their new shirts that I let them pick out for the 1st day of school and go to school today. Brayden got a new watch at his birthday party yesterday and all morning he kept telling me what time it was and asking if it was time to go yet. I finally told him "you tell me when it's 8:35 and then we'll go". He did! (which was nice since I was busy and running late and needed to get moving) When we got to school, Logan didn't want me to get out and walk him to his class, so I told him today would be the only day I would. He's already embarrassed of me?!?! I actually think it was more that he wanted to feel extra big and walk to his class all by himself. I told him I would walk a ways behind him and see if he could do it on his own, which was a compromise for us. If it were up to me, I would've walked him to class, held his hand, took tons of pictures and gave him a big hug and kiss goodbye.
I love watching the boys grow up and mature and do new things, but part of me wants to hang onto them and keep them small. First days of school are hard for me in a way -- I'm torn between happiness and sadness. So now I am home with just the younger two, which is so weird!! It is nice to not hear the fighting all day and to get to spend some one-on-one time with Preston, but it's kind of quiet around here.
I tell you what though, the day Ashten goes to school, I bet I'll be a blubbering mess! Thank goodness that isn't for 5 years.
