I am officially old....I no longer have a baby in my house...

Yesterday...was another milestone in my life. I had to take my youngest, Max... to register for Kindergarten. Seems like just yesterday, he was still attached to me, nursing constantly, then learning to walk and talk. Now, he will be heading off to kindergarten, full day, on the big yellow bus, come fall.

I want to cry...if I could still have babies...I would probably let hubby knock me up again. I miss that so much...guess I could get one of those creepy dolls I posted about below...nah...I haven't lost it yet.

So...in order to register Max for this lovely, $1800 a year (out of my pocket funded) all day kindergarten...I had to take him to get his shots. Now, from past expierience with my older boys, especially Aaron (eight year old) it has always been a traumatic, tear my heart out, they will scream bloody murder and hate you for the rest of the day, expierience. Not so with Max...he wasn't scared at all. Although, that morning before we left to get it done, he did come in my bedroom, sigh heavily and say, "I am very nervous about this shot thing...how big are the needles? Cause Aaron said they are huge and it will hurt and I will scream"...I couldn't help but chuckle inside as I nervously replied..."It's ok to be nervous. I am nervous for you. But, it's just part of growing up. You have to be protected against all the bad diseases in the world. I'm going to need you to take care of me when I'm old...so, they have to be done." He seemed to buy that, went off to his room to get dressed.

The needles of death invaded his soft still baby like skin...six times people...three in the arm and three in the leg.
He was a trooper though. He didn't even cry with the first two. But the third one, the MMR...he screamed, because that really hurt. Then came the three in his left leg...the nurse just gave them, one right after the other..boom, boom, boom...he didn't even have time to catch his breath. Then, they were done.
He was by far, the best, out of all four of my boys.


I was going to post pictures...but for some reason...my stupid camera has lost the pictures I took. WTF??? I took two at the doctors office, two from last night at registration.

I am upset....to say the least. Oh, well...there is always the first day I guess.

He did well at the kindergarten round up last night. He is very excited. Last night, while the parents listened to the principal and the kindergarten teachers..they divided the kids up into groups and took them into the gymnasium...I later found out that Max was very talkative...I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

I am scared to let him go....
