The reason for my title is simple...I have dreaded 2011 since the day I found out I was pregnant with Rylan. If you know me well, then you know that is because I did the math of when my first bundle of joy would be starting kindergarten. With a due date of 10/15/05, I knew he would start in 2011. Fortunately this dreaded year didn't come sooner. If we stayed in Louisville their cut off date is October and since Rylan blessed us a month early he would have started this year.
When we started decorating for Christmas I kept feeling sad. I figured it was the usual miss the family members that are no longer with us, miss my friends.... but then I realized it was because 2011 was only weeks away. Nate thinks I'm crazy, but in my head I have already begun the countdown to my days of him still being a little boy. I know 2011 will come and go and I'll look back and laugh at my misery of the New Year, but for now I just want to freeze time. Is that too much to ask?!
Hope you had a Happy New Year celebration that lasted to at least midnight! :)
I second Nate's motion.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to your feelings! I went through this with Noah and am going through it now with Rachel. I hate to see her start kindergarten(for me) but she is soooo very excited about it! So, I'm happy for her and I know there will be tears and then I'll get used to it, like I did with Noah. But, like you, I'm enjoying every moment, knowing she starts school soon. :)
ReplyDeleteawww! (just wait til he's a crazy teenager, you'll be counting the days til he's out of your house!)
