Bitter Sweet Success?

I am not sure if I should jump up and down with joy, or cry.
I just signed my baby boy up for daycare for the fall and got him in the school I wanted in the last spot for 2 year olds! (He'll be a month away from 2 when he starts in August.)
I have been dreading this day since I was pregnant, but I've been so blessed by being able to stay home with him the first two years of his life. I think he will do so good and grow so much as an independent person. I hate to think of the things I'm going to miss on a daily basis by not being with him, but I am excited to start my new career and also excited to start taking some of the financial burden off of my sweet husband.
So, now...we HAVE to get rid of the pappy by August...yikes. I don't want to have so many new transitions, but they don't like pappy's at his age for sanitary reasons, and I understand. The thought of him picking up someone else's pappy grosses me out! (Or someone picking up his! :P)
Anyway, this summer should be very interesting for his Aunt Cici who is helping me while I finish my last semester of classes before student teaching in the fall! She is not wanting him to get rid of his pappy yet, but "it's time Cici!" :O)
My computer is down, so my lovely Sis has loaned me her lap top until I get ours fixed so that's why no posts lately.
Just wanted to share my news...not sure if it's good or bad yet, but at least I have a few months to prepare myself for the tears and snot that is going to surely come the first of August. UGGGH.

Con's bink is going bye bye on Monday. It is past due anyway, and the cutting did not work, so we are just gonna have to toss it and deal with the consequences. He is 2 1/2 now, and I think his teeth are starting to be affected. That doesn't make it any easier though. Congrats on getting Jack in school. The boys both start a half day program in Sept., so I am hoping it goes better this time around for Walker. Jack is so friendly I know he will love it. Glad to have you back in the blogging world!

That is a bigger step for you than for Jack....kids always adapt to change better than we do....just keep a positive and excited tone when talking about school and talk to him about it....he will just want to know that you will always be back to get him! He is ready for that social interaction and all that learnin'....plus, they really don't remember much until about age 4 1/2....pb
