As great as summer is, it's always good when school starts again. That probably holds true more for the parents than it does for the kids. Caleb is now in 4th grade, and Kaden is in 2nd grade. The big thing this year, however, is that Katelyn is now old enough to go to preschool. Kristen really debated about whether to put her in this year, or to wait one more year before starting preschool. But Katelyn has been dying to go. She somehow knew she would be going to the same preschool where her big brothers went--Bear Hollow--and she has been counting down the days. Her best friend would be going to the same preschool, and that made her even more excited to go. I've been afraid that Kristen was going to have separation anxiety or something. I've been trying to reassure her that it would actually be a good thing. That it would give her a couple hours a week where she wouldn't have to worry about kids, and have some time just for her. She finally agreed. Preschool started a week later than regular school did, and Katelyn was having a hard time with the fact that the boys started school but she couldn't go yet. For months Kristen has been saying that she will be sad when her baby goes off to school. After coming home from school her first day Katelyn asked her mom a very logical question--"Mommy, did you cry?" Although I wasn't there as a witness, I'm pretty sure that she did. Even if it was just a little!

Oh, preschool time is a sad one for me too! Kristen, if you cried, it's OK! I cried for Gabriel, and he was just down the hall!
