Déjà vu

It's finally here!  Cody has been waiting for his "first day of learning" for awhile now.  And so have I...but I didn't think I would start to get teary eyed!  I'm a veteran at this!  But when he hugged Colton and said "Tell me to have a good day at school", I just about lost it.  I guess he is officially a big boy now.

Cody is so excited (and lucky) to go to BYU's preschool.  He had no trouble getting his name tag, finding his cubby and saying goodbye to mom.  Me, on the other hand - I was like, "this is it, that's all I get to do?"  He loves his classroom though . . . they have a pet bunny named Snowy, a tarantula named Webby, and numerous fish.  He also loves the toilet and sink that are just his size - "Mom!  Come look at this mini toilet!  I can't believe its a mini!"

Now, where the déjà vu comes in . . . It seems like just yesterday, it was this:

but this was Cody then:

And now, he's off on his own.  (sniff, sniff)  I love this boy!

Gosh, that's hard. I can't believe that funny little bed head barefoot boy on my porch is not what he was anymore. So sad to see them outgrow their babyhood, but they are turning into handsome little men!!!

"Tell me to have a good day at school"!! Ha, that's so cute :) I love that you have a picture of Cody on the stairs now and back from when Corbin was in preschool at BYU!

you take him all the way up to the BYU preschool? how much is that? is it hard to get them in? I've always wondered about that place!

Yes, we go up there 4 days a week. But I LOVE it. I've been spoiled with it and now can not do anything else. Yes, it is tricky to get in unless you're connected - faculty, staff, student, etc. And it does cost more than most places around here, but I think you pay for what you get, so to me it is totally worth it!
