How Time Does Fly

It seems as if it were only yesterday that Brooke and I decided to adopt a 16 month old beautiful baby boy from Warsaw. Today, 4 years later, that little baby grew up into a little boy and started kindergarten. Te was so excited to start his first day of "big boy school" at Bay Vista Fundamental. He wore his new Sketcher light up sneakers that made him run really fast (yes - he ran up and down the aisles of the store when he picked them out to test their speed). I packed his new Transformer backpack and old school Transformer lunch kit with a delicious lunch and a special note from Mommy and Daddy. We were both able to take him to school and walk him into his classroom. He politely greeted his teacher (Mrs. Moyer-think perfect kindergarten type of teacher)with a "Good morning Mrs. Moyer" and walked over to his cubby hole, stored his stuff and sat down ready to begin. We gave him a kiss good-bye and left the classroom. Funny thing was, I think Te wanted us to leave more then we wanted to let go. As we walked away, we realized several very important things:
1.Time does not stop no matter how much you want it to; 2. Mateusz was ready for kindergarten even though in my eyes he is still that 16 month old baby in Warsaw; 3. we have done a pretty good job getting him ready for this big adjustment since he let go of us a lot quicker then we let go of him; 4. Mommy cries very easily; and finally, 5. Daddy will be able to go fishing on his days off once again!
Mateusz had a great first day of school and is ready for day 2 to begin. Here's hoping for a very successful school year!
