And so it begins.

Jack started kindergarten today. Like a dutiful and sentimental mother, I took as many pictures as he would allow. (Which was quite a few, as he loves the attention.)
He jumped on his bus smiling and eager. I am so excited for him to begin this stage of life. I know he will do great!
 
The beginning of school means there are some changes in our lives.
1. No more spur of the moment trips to follow dad wherever he may go.
2. Moving during the summer has become one of our priorities. If we move during the winter will just bring added difficulties (both logistical and emotional).
3. We all have to wake up to an alarm. This has been one of my favorite things about staying at home with the kids, we were free to wake up as we pleased.
 
Even with these changes, we are thrilled for Jack. Not to mention that with Thomas going to preschool, I have some time to myself. Hooray.
