Punky Pie!

I have nothing to talk about specifically, so we are just going to see were this goes. Today at work was very slow so I spend some of my free time planning Anderson's 3rd birthday. I can't believe it. THREE. He already knows that he will be 3, he is a big boy and no longer allows me to call him my punky pie because he is a BIG BOY. Its like when he started to walk but worse. I remember working with him because he wanted to go so bad but just couldn't quite get it all together, then one day he stood up and took about 5 steps. It happened to be in front of me, Ron, and the in-laws and it felt like as soon as he took those 5 steps within a week he was running.

I find myself here again.
We are still working on the potty training thing, he just uses a diaper to go poop in the rest of the time including night time, he is in big boy underwear. I know that just like the walking thing, he will get it, he gets it now it just has to be in his own time. But its like since we put the passy down he has just flown from little baby to big boy all in one fell swoop.

The first of this month I turned in his application to Liberty Academy, its a private school that has a good preK program. When I turned in the application I felt like some one had just kicked me in the gut. Was it time already? For my son to actually start school? He is excited, we have shown him the building which he quickly pointed out the play ground. I know that this will be an adjustment as he has spent most of the last 2 years with Nanny and PawPaw, but I also know that he ready for some interaction with other children.

I just don't understand how time can fly this fast. I remember it like it was yesterday when I was pregnant and couldn't wait for him to get here so I could hold him and show him off. Now I would give anything to slow his little butt down a bit. I am scared, he is just growing up so quickly. WHEW. *big deep breath*
YOU ARE OK.

Life happens fast and I know it does nothing but speed up and all we do is run around like chickens with our heads cut off hoping that the lessons and things we are so desperately trying to teach them stick. I know I have a bright little boy that loves his mommy and daddy, and right now he still loves to shower us with kisses, but I know the day will come when he will tell me that I can't kiss him in front of his friends....

and of course.... because I am who I am, I will DO IT ANYWAY!!!
He will always be my punky pie.
