the baby goes to kindergarten
Auden's first day of kindergarten is tomorrow. So far it looks muddy to me. First, his teacher is in retirement mode and working a 110 contract. This means she isn't starting the school year with the kiddos. She isn't allowed to work in July on this contract, but 110 calendar days... Second, she's a tough teacher, has high expectations, and picky, picky, PICKY. Third, I'm still not sure he's ready. And last but not least, I'm not ready... This is it. The end. Someone else out there has the potential to influence him more than me. And I don't like this teacher. I don't want her to be the one that tears down his imagination, dashes his hopes, or turn him into a bitter, hopeless little boy! I don't want anyone to do that to him. I want him to stay sweet and innocent forever....

Staci - Little Auden is in kindergarten??? Holy cow! I bet he looked so cute going to school yesterday.
Although you've been at this longer than I have, here's what I've learned...that no one matters more than mommy and no one's influence could ever be as important as yours. He is a beautiful little boy inside out and with you in his corner he will continue to be the imaginative, happy child you have (and will continue to) shaped him to be. Life is the best rollercoaster out there, and it can be hard to separate the laughter from the tears. Love you - Shawna
P.S. Congratulations Auden!!
