Eclipsed

I felt myself ebbing with the moon, fading into the darkness until all that was left was nothing.

Our Big Preschooler

Well...it's official, our son has started preschool. What the what? When did he get this old?

He is having an absolute blast and looks forward to going every single day. His first day of school he learned all about germs. They sprinkled glitter all over their hands after reading a book all about the effects of germs and then washed it off, simulating the 'germs'. He's traced his name, told me it starts with 'H', painted, learned sizes (tiny, medium, large) and sang and dance to several songs. They've played outside in the sand box and the tire swing and he has even made a couple of new friends.

The transition was easy and I've been completely flabbergasted at how well he's done.

I can't believe how fast he's growing up, seriously... disbelief.
