Don't Blink

Someone please tell me when this little guy:


became this big guy:


He woke up this morning so excited he could barely sit still long enough to eat breakfast. He dressed himself in his new shirt (size 7!) and shorts and I helped him tie his new shoes. Then, before I could change my mind and keep him home with me forever, it was time for the backpack. Ian was "ready to go" with his backpack too.

While we were walking to school I realized I'd forgotten his paperwork and nametag. So, I rushed back home while the boys enjoyed the hazy humid morning.
The school was, predictably, a zoo, with parents and children going every direction. But Ethan said hi to his teachers, hugged his friend Garett from soccer, and was ready to dive into his day.


Mommy, Daddy, and brother, however, needed one more big hug:
Now Ian and I are home and staring at each other. I'm sure he's thinking "Oh great, NOW what am I supposed to do?" 3:40pm cannot come soon enough.
