Oh my goodness...I knew it was coming, I thought I was prepared, but I am having a really hard time knowing that tomorrow, SCHOOL STARTS! Leah will be a big 5th grader and Logan will be going to school for the very first time, as a Kindergartener! REALLY???!!! How's this happen?!
I have been washing clothes for them to wear tomorrow, and only, "almost," had a slight breakdown at the sight of Logan's little shirts and shorts. I have also been trying to prepare him for what to do and not do at school. I told him to make sure he used good manners. As he looked at me, expressionless, I asked him if he knew what good manners were...he replied, "Don't say people are weird and don't spit on people." Yep. I told him that was right but to also make sure to say please, thank you, and no thank you. I also had to tell him that he could not talk about his "privates" at school since this is one of his favorite things to laugh about. Another thing I had to tell him was that if he drew any pictures of the family, that he could NOT put boobs on us. Yes, these are things that I have to tell my child because I know how his little brain works!
Please say a prayer for us tonight...tomorrow is going to be tougher than I had thought and I just want to cry when I think about him starting school. And I want to cry thinking about this being Leah's last year of grade school. My babies are growing up, whether I'm ready for it, or not!

Awww, hang in there mama. You have done a great job with them so they will do great too!
