Bryson's first day of 4th Grade was on Monday August 27, 2012...this year was pretty hard on the old Mama...first of all...he was way to cool to be bothered with pictures...I got the three on this post by begging...then bribing...and when that didn't work...I said it...the thing you vow as a kid NEVER to say to your kids when you grow up..."You will take a picture for me BECAUSE I SAID SO" even typing the words makes me cringe...but I was an emotional wreck sending my baby back to school...so in my mind that excuses me...right? There was a different feel in the house this time because Bryson now has a baby brother...Jonas...who arrived this summer...and for the first time ever...he had to leave a sibling behind when he went to school...here they are that morning...When Bryson came home from school...I asked him how his day was...he replied..."Good...but I thought about Jonas all day" I love his big brother heart!
I can't believe my once little red headed...brown eyed baby is now a 4th grader...who by the way...informed me as I walked him to his class... that this would be the last year I was allowed to do so...as he walked about 10 steps ahead of me...oh.my.aching.heart...How do I let go of my baby? Do I really have to?
just last year (when I was working) and couldn't walk him to class on the first day of school...he held my hand before he got out of the car a little teary eyed...what I would give now to go back and walk him into school that day...I will not take one moment of being a stay at home mom for granted...EVER!
Me and the boys...that morning...it seems like just yesterday Bryson was as little as Jonas!
Dear Bryson,
I am so proud of you...you are growing up to be an amazing kid...I think that your 4th grade year will be the best one yet...I hope you understand that this sometimes embarrassing mother...always has your best interest at heart...and even though you may not have been thrilled to have me do all the things us mom's do on the first day of school...I want you to know that I will always be there for you...no matter what!
I love you...my sweet boy,
Mommy
