Joel started PreK at our church a week ago and he is loving it. It has been really hard on me. I'm feeling much better about it now though. I can't believe my baby is old enough for school. I didn't think this time would come yet. After I dropped him off I went to Target for some retail therapy and found myself crying in the aisles. I'm sure everyone thought I was crazy. There was a mom with little kids in her basket that weren't acting right and I could tell the mom was getting frustrated. I wanted so badly to tell her to relax and enjoy this time with your kiddos because it won't be long at all until you're alone like me. I know it's just three days a week, but this is all I've done for the past almost ten years now. It's just going to take me sometime to get use to. The last picture of Joel and me was taken before I really broke down. I did okay for me until I was walking out of the building and someone asked me if I was okay and I said yes. She said you don't look okay. That's when I broke down! She felt so bad for me. Her husband kept telling me you'll be able to pick him up in a few hours. I felt so bad for them. They didn't know what to do with me. I doubt if they ever ask me how I'm feeling again.

What sweet pictures. The picture of you crying made me cry! They grow up so fast. I wish I could freeze the age that Aidan is at right now. Sometimes 2 can be a tough age, but I wouldn't change it for the world!
I can't believe how big he has gotten! He is adorable. I know it is so hard letting your kids grow up. I wish you lived closer and I could let you come play with Madelyn when you needed to!
The pictures are adoraable! I, too, cannot believe he is already four years old, and in school!

You'll enjoy (and miss) this age too. I always thought my favorite age was the age my children were. Of course the baby years seemed the shortest. (once they were out of that age. Ha!)
