A facebook memory popped up on my timeline a few days ago reminding me of a very sweet blog post that was circulating this time last year. I read the post again and even though this was directed towards Kindergarten Moms, I cried just as hard as I did the first time I read it.
I know Connor has already finished Kindergarten and I should probably be over the nervousness of sending him to school but I’m not. This year has a ton of new “firsts” for him and if I’m being honest, I’m just as nervous today as I was this time last year.
How did we get here?
How is it already time to send my baby to first grade?
First grade will be Connor’s first time eating lunch at school. Will I pack enough? Will be be able to open all the packages on his own? Will he make sure to wash his hands and face after he eats?
First grade will be Connor’s fist time being at school for a full day. Will he have enough energy to endure the full day? Will he miss us?

It seems like just yesterday Abe and I were sharing the news that we were expecting a baby with our friends and family.
It seems like just yesterday Abe and I were waking up at 3am to drive to the hospital for Connor’s induction. After 15 hours of labor and no progression we made the decision with our doctor to proceed with a c-section. Within the next hour we met our sweet guy.
It seems like yesterday we were sleeping only a few hours each night and barely hanging on.
It seems like yesterday we were celebrating his first birthday and then his first steps.

I am so proud of my son. He has had many struggles, starting at just 13 months old, but he continues to persevere and surprise us each and every day. He is so smart and very funny. He’s a good friend and likes to make his teachers proud.
I know first grade will be great. But for now I just have to know…
How did we get here?!
