My Baby.....He's Growing Up Too Fast!!!

I cannot believe that my baby Cooper is going to be going to Kindergarten in the fall. Time goes by so fast and it just seems like yesterday we brought him home from the N.I.C.U. and started our lives together as a family.

Last week I took Cooper in for his Kindergarten well-check and he was such a big boy. He did everything the doctor told him to and he thought he was so special because it was just me and him and the baby in my belly. I thought that was so cute. Anyway, he did really well at the doctor's office and I was so proud of him. They had to poke his little finger and then give him four shots and he didn't even cry. He was pretty mad at the nurses, though, and I can't say I blame him. After it was all over the nurses give him a little gift bag that had a book about going to school, stickers, crayons, and coloring paper. He thought that was pretty cool.

On Friday, Ted and I took him to his Kindergarten Open House and he wasn't so sure what to think at first, but once the teachers took the kids to read a story with them, he thought it was so much fun. It did make me sad, though, because like I said, my little baby is growing up. It was so cute though because that night he was so happy and I asked him if he was happy to go to the party we were going to that night and he said, "No. I am excited to go to Kindergarten." That just melted my heart. I hope he keeps that positive attitude about school.
