Caught off Guard

It did not dawn on my until last night, while at Blay's pre-school graduation program (no he was not graduating, only performing with his 'class') that I am only a year or two away from him going to KINDERGARTEN!!!!  Let's just say, I am NOT ready for this.

I know he's growing up and all but really? This soon? This fast? Why can't time just slow down a little? At times I think having another child while felp me with him when it comes to big milestones like Kindergarten but it won't. I will just have another child to tell time to 'stop' with.  My baby boy is no longer a baby and this makes me sad.

He talks, walks, and interacts like a little man, not like a baby boy.  Last night sitting there, watching the program, my heart was already aching thinking of what the future held with him growing up. Thinking of the many milestones he has accomplished and those he has yet to accomplish.  I know it is a part of life but for a Mom, I think it is one of the hardest parts of life. Watching your 'baby' grow. It's so bittersweet.

On another note, only Blay and his best friend Wesley from their class are the only ones who showed up last night for their part in the program. They did the best duet (and Blay a couple solos)!!!!  They sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Jingle Bells. I know your thinking "Christmas Songs in May"?  But, the program was about the seasons of the graduating Pre-K classes year at school so each group (3 years up) had different seasons to sing about! They were great.

When I get the pictures uploaded, I will post a few here for you. 

Have a Happy Friday and a Good LLLOOOONNNNNGGGGG WEEKEND!

Love to all-

I am HORRIBLE!!!!

I did NOT realize it had been more than one month, almost two, since I have made a good post on here!!! Wow!!! Someone knock me up side the head sometime before I go this long (Jill).  :)

I do have some new pictures I will upload to Picasa. I am doing better about uploading photos to there at least!

There is not a whole lot to report. We just got back from a great trip to Gatlinburg for Mother's Day weekend. We spent two days at Dollywood. Blay spent 3 days there!  John and I went shopping Sunday while the in-laws took Blay to Dollywood. There is only so much an adult can do there for 2 days without getting bored, much less 3!

We are also still very much in T-Ball mode. While we did take a much needed break from T-ball and everything else last week, we are back in full swing as of last night. Blay is fielding and hitting much better.  We are going to have to work with him a little more though. John has started trying to see how he will hit right handed.  Hey, the pros switch hit don't they?  :)

Blay is also doing much better in school. The compliment we received this am was that he is a very polite boy. That makes my heart so proud! I work hard with manners daily.  Now, if I could just get his attitude to go with his contant manners I would be even more happy!

Blay is extremely happy at the moment. His daddy bought him an Army Diesel truck.  Not only is my child obsessed with anything army and truck related, he is very obssessed with diesels!  I do not know where he has become so obssessed with diesels but EVERYTHING is a diesel. 

Anytime we leave the house now, he wants to ride in the truck, not the 'special' car or mommy's car but the truck. I'll have to take a picture to show you all the 'truck' that is now his.

Well, I need to get back to work but I wanted to do a quick update for those who do actually read the blog. Maybe I don't write more because one other person besides me are the only ones who read it?

Love to all who take the time to read! God Bless!
