Where has the summer gone??
Oh, how I dread the cold days ahead! I hate being cooped up in the house with the same four walls for weeks on end! I swear Preston isn't a fan either because he LOVES to play outside all day. He looks forward to heading down to the garden everyday and seeing what is ready to be pick, and what we will make with it! I love that he looks forward to fresh veggies! Today we found a lot of tomatoes, and he stated like such an adult "Mom, you are going to have to get busy and make salsa." Gee, thanks for keeping me in line, buddy! Instead we came inside, saw that the play dough had gotten "old" and made some new bright green play dough. He thought it was great to dump all the ingredients in the pan, and then watch it cook. He was so surprised at the end that we had made play dough.
The end of summer hit me like a smack in the face when we passed all the county school buses Tuesday morning on our way to take Preston to his first day of Preschool. I am sure that I was more nervous than him, and he had no issue waving by, and running over to the rug to play. As we got back in the car, I looked at Brandon and worried, "I don't think he really understood that we were leaving him, should we peek back in to make sure he hasn't freaked?" He laughed at me and told me that he needed to get to work, and that the teachers had been doing this a long time (12 years, I paid attention at the 2 hour orientation.) When I picked him up, he was sitting on the rug following the pick up rule (I KNOW- my kid- following the rules!!!) He jumped up and my heart melted as he ran over and wanted to show me everything he did! They made the cutest little rockets with their pictures in the window. My little monkey has grown up into a little boy... I am doing my best to hold it together and be just as excited as he is. He was so proud to stand in front of the door for a picture (yeah, I am that mom, and he is used to it!)
I am sad to see the summer go, but I am excited for all the new things he will get to do this year, and all the friends he will make. I just hope that mommy stays number one!
