Tomorrow starts a whole new chapter in my life...

From the beginning of my career as a mother it was just Bryce and I. We had been through the worst, created the best memories, and created a bond that is indescribable.

When he was born a whole new chapter of my life was created. The chapter of us being together no matter what, doing whatever we could to stay together and me making sure his life would only get better with each and every day. It wasn't until last year when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter that the love of my life Nick suggested I stay home with the kids. It has been amazing. I got to enroll Bryce in Pre-school last year and go to every field trip and come to every little event. I felt like I was able to be apart of Bryce's life in a whole new way.

Well Tomorrow starts yet another chapter. Tomorrow For the first time I will watch my sweet baby boy get onto a school bus and head of to a whole new chapter in his life! I think knowing it was coming this summer was somewhat misleading. I wasn't real until I took him to meet his teacher today and figure out all of the details of this school year that it became real. I think at the moment I was filling out the cafeteria paperwork and marking whether I would be making his lunch or he would be eating in the cafeteria is when I realized how big he has gotten.

In just five short years he has leaned to crawl, walk, talk, argue, communicate, write letters and spell some words, speak a little Spanish, and has developed an interest in politics.(He can tell you who is president, who was president, if they are democrat or republican, what the mascot is for each party, and how to pass a bill into congress.) It doesn't seem to me by looking at him that he is ready. But there he stood today in his classroom like a little man staying true to self and trying to draw some sort of attention to himself by telling his teacher right off the bat, "I am 5 and I have glasses!"

On my way home it dawned on me... This is now one of the most important chapters in my life... The chapter where I now need to guide him into a successful path, the chapter where I hopefully protect him from the things I can and help him learn from the mistakes I cannot protect him from. As I am sure most parents do at this point of their lives, I looked back into my 13 years of school and picked through all of the choices I made that I do not want him making, I sat there with anxiety building praying that God give me the time to be there for each and every moment of these ever so important years and that nothing happen where I would be unable to participate in his life. I prayed I would be able to help him succeed and help him stay the kind hearted person he is now. I prayed for his success and prayed for him to enjoy these years to the fullest and take full advantage of his youth and try and help him to not grow up too fast.

Here are some pictures of my little man:
