I knew this day was coming.  The tears came three weeks ago when I realized I only had three more weeks.  The tears flowed Sunday night as Derek gave the boys "father's blessings" for school.  They came again last night at 11pm, in a big way, as I went to check on him and he gave me a hug in his groggy sleepy state.  They're coming again as I type.  My baby, Caleb, started Kindergarten today. 

And I miss him.

I miss having our little conversations over lunch.  I miss him playing with Samuel.  I miss the sound of him playing upstairs for "quiet time". 

Don't get me wrong – I know he's ready.  And that this is the right place for him.  I'm thrilled with is cute and sweet teacher.  She greeted him with a hug this morning and I was so pleased.  He grinned and waved at me as he walked by in his class line, while I was standing in the library with the PTA.  He's happy and excited and more than capable of conquering this new "world". 

But our preschool days are over.  And time is moving on.  And he's growing up. 

And I miss him.

Our kind, witty, social, cutie, cutie Caleb…

I can't wait to go get the boys at 3:00 and see how their days were!  It's a good thing I have a while before missions and college…I'm going to be a mess.
