Where did my baby go?

On October 16, 2008 Ryan and I were blessed with an angel from God, Carter Jacob Lund!

Carter 8 lbs 2 oz , 21.5 inches

Almost 3 1/2 years later we are registering him for Preschool. I am trying to wrap my head around where the past 3 years went and why it went so fast. It is a bittersweet time for all parents I am sure. Even though it is only for 3 days a week and 2 1/2 hours, it is both a much needed break and a sad thought that my baby is growing up! I am excited for him to make new friends and possibly Ryan and I to befriend a few parents as well. I look forward to seeing all his projects he will do and to put them in his new art folder he got for Christmas! He is so excited to start, he wanted to go today! He doesnt quite understand that he has to wait until September. I guess I have to charish the times that he wants/loves to go to school, since I am sure one day he will not want to go!

I must admit I am looking forward to running errands or working out at the gym during this time. It will also take me back to what it is like carting around only one boy! I am sure Caleb and I will pass the 2 1/2 hours doing lots of stuff and having lots of fun before we have to pick up big brother from school!

Dear Teacher,

I am sending you my most precious possession today,
Trusting in your care what to do and say,
Be gentle and loving and encourage him too,
I'm trusting in you to know what to do,
Show him things and let him draw,
So he'll remember the things he saw,
Let him jump and run and play,
He'll tell us all about his day,
Let him do things on his own too,
But please help him when he looks to you,
Give him a hug and smile alot,
Memories of you will never be forgot.

A Loving Parent
