~~Who Wants To Go To School?~~

~~I used to be little, but not anymore,
Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.
I'm going to Kindergarten - it's the first time for me.
It's great to be big, but I'm scared as can be.

My tummy's in knots. You want to know why?
I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe I'll cry.
When Dad leaves the school and I'm there all alone,
I'm thinking that maybe I'll want to go home.

But wait - Mommy said I'll play lots of new games,
And meet lots of friends - I can learn all their names.
The first day of Kindergarten, oh there's so much to do!
There's painting and books and a big playground, too!

I used to be little, but not anymore.
Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.
I'm going to Kindergarten - it's my first day, you see.
It's great to be big! I'm so glad that I'm me.~~

That's the question I asked Matthew when I took this picture & he raised his hand & said "I DO....I DO!!!"

  A charming poem to accompany a darling photo! You will cherish these in years to come...

We shall have to chat about this "broncos" thing....even though the Chiefs are not much to get excited about, the rivalry is still fun!

  Ahhhh... first day of school... you must be filled with such emotion. Are you "scrapbooking" his major milestones?? This is a terrific set up!!!

Hope his very first day was SPECTACULAR!!! (He is going to be tall huh? I always thought he was in 2nd great at least!)
