twas the night before kindergarten

wow, so garret starts kindergarten tomorrow morning. it is hard to believe this is the beginning of a new stage in our lives. he will be in school for the next 12 years and that means we will be too :) to be honest i am really looking forward to him being in school. i think it will be really good for him. i am praying that he makes lots of friends, really enjoys his teacher, and just loves to go to school everyday. for the first two weeks of school the kindergarteners only go a few days to get used to going. i had never heard of this before but it really seems like a good idea. it gives the kids a chance to go with just a few other kids and lets the teacher learn their names and spend more one on one time with each kid. we will see how it goes. i think garret will be very tired when he gets home. he and dad went on a guys camping trip last night to celebrate going to school. they had a great time. i wanted to be there too. maybe next time Rae and i can go too. one more thing is that i am looking forward to starting a new tradition with garret. tonight the "backpack fairy" will be coming and loading garrets backpack full of all his school goodies and a new shirt to wear. what fun!
