Twas the night before preschool

Surprised Sydney with this book today. Daddy read it to him, just before leaving for work. Then, at bedtime, I surprised him with "Curious George's first day of School".

Then, after the kids were both in bed, I wanted to quickly post this picture on the blog and I sat down to quickly write this silly, little rhyme:

Twas the night before preschool

and mom's a bit sad.

Her oldest son's growing

(but that's really NOT bad.)

Dad has been teasing

for weeks and for days

that the clothes are picked out,

and will mom want to stay?

He'll wear his new backpack.

It's blue - like his eyes

We'll take him to school

and we'll say our good-byes.

His brother will miss him

and mom surely will, too

but it is good for us all that 

He's going to school!
