All grown up

Today was kindergarten round-up for the Cy-Fair school District in which Jacob will be attending Ault Elementary next year. He was so excited to see his new school and was even more excited when he saw the kids getting out of school to get on the school bus. Jacob will be riding a school bus and can't stop talking about how exciting that will be. I just don't know what mom thinks about it yet. It makes me cry to think about my baby going off to school. What will I do next year without him?



I used to be little, but not anymore.
Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.

I'm going to school--it's the first time for me.

It's great to be big, but I'm scared as can be.

My tummy's in knots. Do you want to know why?

I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, I'll cry.

When Dad leaves the school and I'm there all alone, I'm thinking that maybe I'll want to go home.

But wait--Mommy said I'll play lots of new games, and meet lots of friends
--I can learn all their names.
The first day of school, oh there's so much to do!

There's painting and books and a big playground, too.

I used to be little, but not anymore.

Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.

I'm going to school--it's my first day, you see.

It's great to be big!

I'm so glad that I'm me!

Yes...it's so hard to believe he's going to be in K this fall. And I know he'll love riding the yellow school bus. He's been talking about them since he could talk.
