Back to school.

Can I just say...WHAT??

I have a kindergartener?!?

WHAT?

How did he get from this?

to this??

It amazes me daily how fast children grow and how much they change.

I always wondered when he was a baby,

what's he going to be like when he's 5?

what kind of personality will he have?

what will he look like as he grows?

I couldn't have predicted something so amazing.

I love this kid more than I could have ever imagined.

He drives me crazy...absolutely crazy

and I have days, where I question how we both made it out alive.

He's so busy and his curious little brain encouranges him to cause so much trouble.

But at the end of the day..when I see

this...

I'm overcome with love and I can face another day.

 

I'm so happy school has started back up.

Joseph goes to Providence and in my opinion it's the best school ever.

He thrives while he's there.

It gives me time at the gym without worrying about finding a sitter.

It gives us both time to learn and grow.

I only have one big beef with school.

I firmly believe that you should never wake babies or children up

and well sadly I have to do it.

 It's no fair to have to drag him from his blissful slumber.

And no fair to me that I have to sacrafice quiet moments.

Kids are the sweetest while they sleep, aren't they?

 

Pretty much all of the pictures you're seeing are from my iphone. I am a photographer,

I really need to get my real camera out.

I have plans of doing a back to school shoot of him but I have yet to get on that.

If you followed my old blog, you'll know that I LOVE comparison pics..LOVE THEM!

So I do them often.

Here is last year beginning of the school year

 

 And now this year.

 

So excited to see how much he learns and grows this year!!!
