Last night James and I were talking about Malachi starting Kindergarten this Fall. (my eyes tear up just typing that!) James asked him if he was excited to go to school. Malachi replied, "No, because I'll miss you all." We had to explain to him that he would still come home every day and eat dinner with us. He sounded a little more excited.
In some respects, I have dreaded the start of the "school years". Once Malachi starts school, Isaiah will be a year behind him and Samara will be 2 years behind that. It seems to me that once this new stage begins, the years will pass by more quickly. Our nights will be filled with homework and projects. Then before you know it, another school year has passed and they are another year older.
Yes, I know that this is life, but it still is a little sad to begin a new phase and never be able to have these precious years back.
*Oh, now he's decided that he needs a cell phone so he can call us at school...nice try, buddy, but I think not!*
