1 month

My kids get out of school one month from today.  
That means this is my last month that I will have Carson home in the afternoon.  I love spending time with that little guy.  While Kyle sleeps we are able to play card games, soccer, puzzles, read books, etc.   I don't spend the whole nap time with Carson because exercising, cooking, laundry, and cleaning need to get done too; but I always make a point to spend 20-30 minutes of quality time with him.  

I can't believe next fall I will be sending him off to school all day too.
I think he will be ready but I'm not.
He is a my sweet, tender little kid.
He also loves to be home and doesn't like crowds at all.

I am both nervous and sad about sending him off to kindergarten.
If he gets a kind, organized teacher it will be great!
If he gets a loud, disorganized teacher who likes to yell (there are some in the kindergarten) he will hate it.

I remember feeling super nervous sending Erik to kindergarten. (But not so sad as he was almost 6 and had three younger siblings at home.)

I felt okay sending Lainey to kindergarten.  She is a confident student and loves school.  Even though she was a young five, she was ready.

So hard to believe, that my crazy toddler/baby days are over!
I LOVE the phase my kids are in now and hope it doesn't go by so quickly.

HEre's to the last month!
Let each day I get to be home with my buddy be a good one!

Dear Ann,
My name is Ruth and I was wondering if I could contact you about your child's ear tube procedure that you blogged about in 2011. My son is almost 2 and is scheduled to have ear tubes put in by Dr. Orfaly later this month. Would you mind if I asked you some questions? I can be reached at rsolomon9@gmail.com.
I really enjoy your blog and I am in awe how you are able to manage 4 kids!

Thanks,
Ruth
