The Difference Between PreK and Kindergarten

This pretty much sums it up, I think:
































Still, I can't bring myself to throw his 'baby backpack' away. He's had that Pottery Barn backpack for two and a half years, since he started prek in January of '06. I want to snuggle it and love it and hold it while he tromps off with Superman at his side. My baby has turned into a Boy.

Is this the youngest? It always seems harder to me when Keri hits milestones because I know she is the baby, the last of the fruit of my loins.

Yes, Patrick's my baby. But now that he apparently has 'balls', it's time for him to leave the nest!

sniff sniff. i'm in the same boat. though my boy is older (starting 3rd grade) he's the baby and it kills me. nobody can ever warn you how incredibly hard it is (yet at the same time awesome, wonderful, etc.) to watch your kids grow up. truly the definition of bittersweet.
