First day of Pre-K

How did my baby start going to Pre-K already? Time has been passing by way too fasttttt. I haven't even been able to catch my breath and he's starting pre-k. It's definitely awesome to see all his growth and development, yet it's so not cool that he's growing up so fast. I don't feel like I ever have enough time to hold and squeeze him when life is passing by so quickly.

Aaron is going to a new classroom, having new teachers, and meeting so many new friends as most of his friends from last year are older and are going to a different classroom.  I have to admit that it's more nerve wracking for me than for him when facing all the changes. I hope he will enjoy another year of preschool and have as much fun as he can.

2016 Summer Camp

This is Aaron's first year of attending summer camp full time. I chose to let him go to his school's summer camp as it will be an easy transition for him when he's already familiar with the environment.  Teachers and friends will be different but hopefully it is not going to be an issue. Summer camp just seems so much fun (swimming, arts, puppet show, petting zoo...) that I wish I were given the chance to do so when I was a kid. I remember all my summers were pretty boring growing up. Staying at home on most days, swimming for less than a handful of times the entire summer, working on summer workbooks as my parents were both working full time.

But I cannot blame them for my uneventful summers as I understand I wouldn't be able to live a comfortable life without their hard work. It'd just be nice if they would spend more time with me like I've always wanted. I hope Aaron would appreciate all the time we spend together and enjoy his childhood as much as possible. Raising a happy kid has always been my goal and I need to keep reminding myself that. :)
