Kindergarten registration round 1: Max

Today I drove over to Dayton Elementary, actually twice because I forgot one if the 5 forms to bring with. It was nostalgic driving past softball fields I played at and friends houses. I kept picturing what the inside if the school looked like 30 years ago. When I went there! It's still the same with some face lifts. Funny how small it seems now but how huge it was then. I even recognized a name of a classmates mom that still works there! Crazy to think the next generation is starting there! I didn't get to see much and am so bummed that I'll be out if town for the open house May 1st. I hope I can go to the open house in August to look around more. I have been to the playground. I've taken the kids the last couple years. It's been a task on our summer bucket list to play at five NEW parks each year. 

Dear Max,

I have so many feelings for you at this point. I'm excited for you to begin this awesome adventure. I'm anxious because I won't be the one to drive you to school and pick you up. I'll miss getting to know your teachers like I have in preschool. It's a but scary to send your baby off on a bus all day. I know you are so ready and capable. I am incredibly proud of you! Just the past two years of preschool you have learned and grown so much! Seems silly but I don't know how you know all the things you do. I hope you love school. I know you love to learn and I hope that stays. I hope it comes easy enough for you that it keeps you intrigued for more. I hope you pass that on to your sisters because they look up to you so much! 

Hope we get to do do much this summer because we will miss you so much next fall! You are so excited to be gone just like dad all day everyday Monday through Friday. I can't believe it! It's so cliche what they say it goes so fast. But then it happens you you and it's true. And it makes me wish I had more time. Makes me sad I was so tired being pregnant with your sisters. We had fun though and still will. The best is yet to come our buddy! 

Love you to the moon! 

Xoxo, mom
