Getting So Big!

Last Friday was the Preschool Christmas program.

God bless Catholic schools for have Christmas programs. I loved every. single. second of it. (Okay, maybe excluding the part where the principal started talking about Kindergarten round up.) It was awesome. My parents came down for it and it was just wonderful. The kids decorated the gathering hall with four different art projects and after the singing there was juice and cookies to enjoy. 

My guy did a pretty good job. I was so proud. And not that it's a contest, because it isn't, at all, but the morning preschool video has double the views, comments and likes over the afternoon class video. And probably, I myself am like 100 of those views. 

It's all going so fast. My guy got an invitation to a birthday party. And no one was more excited than I. Seriously, no one even came close to how excited I was. You see my biggest hope for him starting school was that he'd make friends. A birthday party invite certainly suggests to me that he is doing that. (And because it was an evite, I know for a fact this was not an invite the whole class party.) 

Did I mention that it was a party for twins? He really likes them and has talked about playing with them since the first week of school. So he was thrilled. He picked out the wrapping paper, bows and candy to go on top all by himself. 

He also wrote the names on the cards and signed his name all by himself. Which was also a big deal because my guy isn't the biggest fan of writing. I told him to write a "big E" and so he did... note to self, next time, say uppercase. 

He was very excited to head out to the party this afternoon. 

It was a drop off or stay party for parents but of course C wanted a "drop over" party. But the party venue has a restaurant upstairs too so I just went up there, had some cheesestix and read a book. My seat overlooked the play area and every once in a while I would catch a glimpse of my guy having a ball. 

So some big moments for my getting big C. He just melts me. Why can't they just stay little?!
