First day of kindergarten!

My boy is growing up so fast. He started kindergarten this week, which is startling and exciting at the same time. I can't believe the time has gone by so dang quickly. It seems like 15 minutes ago that he was starting preschool. Geez Louise.

He has been really excited and looking forward to it, asking all the time, "How many days until I start school?" Little him loves to be around other kids and likes the structure of school.

I gotta say, he really is handsome in his tiny uniform! We are excited to see how he does in school. He is such a smart little bugger; I'm sure he will do well and make little frenz.

(I had to wake up way too dang early to get him off to school. So a chevron headband and glasses it was.)

He told us the only thing he doesn't like about school so far is that he doesn't get to see me and Dad and Sis. :) Cute little guy. I love that, since I know he likely won't be saying that in a few years.

BFF's - or just too much time together

We were driving home from taking the kids to a jumpy place the other day, (You know, where they have inflatable slides and such), and Curtis had been updating some insurance on his new phone with the customer service lady. He mentioned how she had asked about our weather here when she saw he was in Vegas and he told her it was 112 (or whatever horribly high temp it was that day.) She was appropriately horrified and said it was 68 (or something) where she was.

"Oh yeah? Where was she?" I was curious where in the country it was already that low. Alabama? Cali?

He started circling the air in front of him with his index finger, as if searching for the place she had mentioned.

Seeing the circling, I realized exactly what he meant. "Oh! Michigan!"

He looked at me kind of incredulously. "How did you know that?"

I just laughed. "I could tell you were circling the lakes, that you meant that lake area in Michigan. I could see it in your mind."

After we laughed and laughed, I had to poke him lightly in the cheek. "We soulmates."

It's true! Who else can you do stuff like that with besides your best friend?

I really could see it in his mind....
