We had grand plans to see Super WHY at Sesame Place today, but you weren't feeling well...additionally, if we're really honest with ourselves, aren't the Fervers who we should spend 'the day before a giant thing happens' days with anyway? Yes, Mister. The answer is absolutely yes. I did a ton of planting in the garden while you slept, and Ro and Dolly hung out with me on the porch while I did...and when you woke up we decided to go and get a few more plants to "finish" the yard with. The thing is never going to be satisfactory to me as it turns out. At least not this season. The grass is too dead and the shrubs aren't grown yet. I can see where it's heading though, and it'll be lovely...some day.
We got pizza, and then I did more work out there. Grandmapa came and helped determine weed from veggie in the back yard, and you and Rosie shared some sweetness near by the car. Dolly and Rosie went home, and Brian helped set up the sprinkler out front. You loved playing in it, but we had to cut your play time short so we could get you ready for bed...you start school in the morning! Once you were asleep, I made your lunch (sunflower seed butter and fig jam sushi rolls, pizza bites, some snacks...I bet you don't touch any of it.) and then filled out the paperwork for your class. Mister Man I already miss you beyond words. I know that you're going to have fun, I know that this is the beginning of your world of socialization outside of the context of me and that that's a really healthy and wonderful thing for you. I also know that I am unbelievably lucky to have spent as much time with you as I have without sending you to daycare and although I wish I could do it forever this wasn't ever going to be easy on either of us. As much as my selfish Mommy self wants to keep you to herself forever, there is as much of me that is excited for you to grow and have a world of your own. God, that even hurts to write. But it's true! I love you an impossible amount, Man...
Preschool!!
