"He who receiveth all things with thankfulness," the Lord has promised, "shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more" (D&C 78:19)

Today, he's all mine.

Today - the last day before it happens for real.  The last day to look at my five year old and know that he's not part of someone else's day.  That, today, he's all mine, but tomorrow he will be finding a whole adventure, challenge, friends and foes. 

Today, on the television, I caught the last 30 minutes of the last Harry Potter, (I CRY my eyes out watching Snapes memories) and the last 5 minutes of the last episode of Friends. (not so much crying.)  Okay, maybe it's silly of me, but those were some of my most favorite bits of viewing in the whole world!  I was sad when they both came to an end in the world, and I was sad when they ended again today, and it added to the weepy mommyness of my baby boy being old enough to be in Kindergarten! 

Tonight, after 'Back to School' night, we'll set out his clothes and get him ready for his first official day of school!  A FULL day of kindergarten! And his mommy will be so lonely for him!  He's my best little helper!  I KNOW he's ready.  I KNOW he's excited and nervous, and brave and going to do GREAT!  I LOVE that little Stink Weed SO much!  I KNEW this day was coming, but it always felt so distant.  I proud of him, his attitude, his eagerness to learn, and his smart little personality.

Tomorrow will be a big day for all of us; for a BIG kid off to school, for an emotional momma, for a little brother who adores his big brother and will ask all day long, "where's Nay Nay?" Big changes around here.  Looking forward to a bright amazing future - but will also long for the lazy, easy going,  and magical days of when he was all mine.
