it was a big week for us over here.
my biggest boy – mr. lucas jude himself started preschool.
his first year.
the big kid three-hours-a-day/three-days-a-week kind.
he was excited.
i was nervous.
i got up early and made boy a mickey mouse pancake.
he had no idea i was capable of such things.
we brushed teeth, combed hair, pinned buttons on his new backpack, tied new school shoe laces and sent text pictures to grammy.
oh – and had a talk about keeping his ninja turtle fighting skills in check while out in the real world.
i walked him into ms. kristen’s classroom fully expecting/hoping that he’d ask me to stick around.
instead he hung up his pack on the hook marked L-U-C-A-S and said, “bye mom!”
oh. <<lump in throat>>
