Well, I guess it's true. People always said when McKay was 3 months old and 2 years old and 4 years old, "Enjoy this time because it will be gone before you know it". I used to roll my eyes (to myself of course) but it's true! My baby is 6 whole years old and he's gone to school all day!
Luckily, McKay absolutely LOVES First Grade. He loves his teacher, his new friends, recess, the pirate activities they do every day (apparently his teacher loves pirates..so cute!), and eating lunch at school.
Seeing him skip out the door every day and coming home tired but happy every day this week has made it a fun week!

Benson really misses his brother. They are best buddies and playmates so McKay's absence leaves a big hole in Benson's day. However, this week he's had more attention from Mom and has had playdates with friends, so I think he'll be okay too.
As for me, I just miss my boy. It sounds silly, but I feel like he's gone all the time and I miss him. I miss his interesting comments and hearing the way he thinks. I miss his creative play. I miss his sense of humor and his companionship. It's really a tough thing to let go as a parent. Tough...
But, I'm so happy to see that he is thriving in his new environment and happy for the joy it brings him. Way to go, my Big Mckay!

If you think you miss him, I NEVER get to see him anymore, it's weird! We are totally going to have to have a play date SOON!!! Love that boy! I am so glad that his teacher is fun and that he seems happy, way to go McKay! Nana and Papa love you so much!
