This is Corbin. He will be turning 4 in May. He's my goofy, stubborn, crazy little monster.
Corbin has been potty trained since he was 2. Up until last week, he was still wearing pull ups to bed. He didn't have accidents at night a lot, but enough that I wasn't ready to keep him in underwear all night long.
Last week, Corbin decided he was done with pull ups. He was a "Big Boy" and didn't need them anymore.
I should be ecstatic about this. I should be jumping for joy that I don't have to spend the money every month on pull ups and wipes anymore. I should be proud of him for taking that step to wake up and use the bathroom.
But I'm not. I'm just sad. :'(
Corbin is my last little Monster. To me, this is the last little bit of baby he had left. It officially means he's a grown up. Before I know it he'll be driving, graduating and moving out. Noooo!! I'm not ready!
To add salt to the wound, a few days ago we got a packet in the mail. A preschool packet. We have to sign my little baby up for preschool by February 15th. Waaaaaahhh!!!
I just want this back.
It doesn't get any easier. I cried on her first day of kindergarten and first grade. I will cry at second grade too. Its our job to teach them how to be contributing grown up members of society, but its so hard watching it happen and it goes so fast. You'll be ok though, even though its hard to watch happen, it is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI made it through without tears for the older boys, I don't think I'll make it through for him. It's so much harder when it's your last. Your last diaper, your last first day of preschool, etc, etc.
DeleteBut I agree, it's so fun and so worth it! Thanks for stopping by!
Swinging by from the link-up... YAY to the final step in potty training accomplishment! I can't really, quite relate to this yet... as my 2 little ones are 2 1/2 y.o. and 10 months old. However, I find myself sad over what will come once they start preschool and grade school. What will be my "job" then? I'm currently a stay-at-home mom and question what I will do once my "babies" become involved in school and don't need me 24 hours a day! Sometimes it makes to sad to think about such.
ReplyDeleteI completely know how you feel. I'm a Stay-at-home too. I've actually contemplated homeschooling just to feel needed. Ha!
DeleteAwww. I can't believe he is about to be 4 already!!! I'm having to sign Jayla up for Kindergarten this year.
ReplyDeleteAwww. Kindergarten is such a big step! What happened to our babies??
DeleteOooh man. I was just thinking how big my kiddo is tonight as I laid her down in bed. It hurts my ovaries, I tell ya!
ReplyDeleteNice meeting you!
Thanks for linking!
