A Pre-Schooler!

Cousin Hunter, my nephew, is officially a pre-schooler today.  I must say, it's very bittersweet.  He's excited, I know he'll do great.  But, he's growing up!!  My twins are growing up!  I was just thinking this weekend how they've gone from being very, very rambunctious and wild, and explorative....to being much better listeners and helpers.  Now, of course we still have moments, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  We can visit people without breaking things (most of the time), without going into every room we aren't supposed to.  I can go to the store with the children and they help me and are good.  They never expect to get things, so we don't have that fight.  I've just never started it.  If they get stuff, it's very sporadic.  Anyway, they are at a great age! 
Back to Hunter- let's pray for my sister as she drops him off this morning.  I can't imagine how scary it is to entrust your child to others for the day.  Maybe I'm dramatic...but I think that's huge.  His teacher is awesome and I'm sure it will be just fine.  We should probably pray for Nanny, as she won't have him during the morning anymore.  :-(  She's sad but will have him some afternoons.  Carson must have known something was up, because he wanted to spend the night with Nanny last night.  He's never done that with anyone.  He actually let me hop in the car and head on out, he really wanted to stay (or so he thought). 
As for my sisters- Alyssa is now a 4th grader, Madison is a 9th grader, and Abbey is a senior!  OMG...I remember when they were all born.  How old I feel today!!!! 
I will miss summer- I love having the extra help from my mom and sisters with the kiddos.
