My Little Boy Is Growing Up!

I just went to the website for Parker and Demi's elementary school to check out the important dates for the next couple of weeks before school begins and I started getting genuinely anxiety ridden! Is it really possible that my first is going to kindergarten!? And ALL DAY kindergarten at that! I started reading the school supply list and got all teary-eyed thinking of him walking into his classroom for the first time with his shiny new backpack all full of scissors and glue sticks and crayons. I seriously think I might have a bit of a little crisis on my hands in a couple of weeks. And I am not talking about Parker. I hope I can keep MYSELF together!

And for my mom - look at this cute picture I found! Click on it to zoom in and see their t-shirts... Mrs. Rhemann had been the principle of Kuehnle since it opened in 1989 and retired at the end of last school year. She is an exceptional person and was an exceptional principle. I was so, so sad that she retired because I was looking forward to Parker being able to go to school with her there - just as my brother and two of my sisters had. It was a huge motivating factor in where we bought our house. She will definitely be missed by all, but I know she did a great job in helping pick her successor and she was so sweet to assure me that she would think of Parker in deciding the best placement and teacher for him before she left. I can't tell you how much comfort I take from that!

I am sad Mrs Rhemann is leaving. I only met her a few times, but I also felt good about her being there for Demi and Parker. I know how you feel with Parker starting school. ALL DAY? WOW! Will he be ok with it? Is he excited? You and Carson will have great one on one time. It is not all bad. Funny how fast we adjust.
