4 1/2 years ago, I was given the gift of becoming a Mommy. This title has changed my life in too many ways to count but the most important thing it did was to give me a purpose. Today marks the day that I say 'goodbye' to my little boy's babyhood and 'hello' to my big boy. Cole starts 4 year old preschool tomorrow, 5 days a week. It's almost just the same as having a child entering Kindergarten because he'll be away from me just as much and just as long. It makes me so sad to know that my baby won't be with me at all during the course of the day. For 4 1/2 years, I have spent close to every day with my Cole. He has gone to school some of those days, but nothing compares to 5 days a week! I have cherished our time together and am so blessed to have been given so much precious time with that boy. Chloe will miss him being at home to play with so much and that is hard too. But... this also marks a new beginning. Cole Thomas Lunsford, you are ready for this! You are ready to learn and to grow in ways that Mommy can't teach you, so it's time that you spend your days at school. I know that you will learn so much in this year that lies before you and I can already say that I am very proud of you, my sweetheart. You make me proud in all that you do and I can't wait to continue watching you grow into the smart, loving and wonderful man that you will become one day. Chloe and I will miss you being at home with us, but we'll be right there waiting at the school doors to give you big hugs, every single day that school lets out. I love you, Cole!
