Nate's 1st day of school 9-5-12

Future Nate, I'm sorry it took me so long to document this.

Nate started school after Labor Day. He literally skipped across the parking lot singing "Preschool here I come!".  There were no tears (from him), he couldn't wait to get in the door. 

He knows this school, he knows the teachers from various functions with Annabelle over the past 2 years.  He finally isn't the one waving from the doorway telling us to have a good day, he is the big boy waving as I try to swallow the lump formed in my throat.  He is the one who runs to me yelling "Mommy, I had just the best day!" in the afternoon.  He is the one with the blue & grey lunchbox that includes Angry Bird cheese nips. He is my heart.

How did this happen? How are they so big? HOW?????

I realize this is a cliche and stupid and lame, but my GOD, where the hell did the time go? What happened to our babies? The next thing you know, we'll all be moving into our Dec 08 mamas nursing home, all together.

(oh man. wouldn't that be awesome?)
