Today was a momentous day. My first born will be starting kindergarten in the fall. So bittersweet. Not just for the passing of time, that seems a mere blink; soon, Ian will belong to a world into which I can't easily follow. Our paths are beginning to diverge. Everything he does from now on, learning, befriending, discovering, becoming... all of this he'll do without me. Of course, I'll be proud of him, but I'm sad for me. He won't need his mommy any more. I already feel it since he's been going to preschool.

| Though he admits he is scared, Ian intrepidly bounds up the stairs of his new school. |
 |
| After we registered, we went to investigate his new room. |
 |
| It was a very nice room; inviting, bright and colorful. |
 |
| Ian felt at home and asked if he could take out the toys and play. |
Ian was so brave meeting all the kindergarten teachers who spoke to him in French. He even told them that he knew one word in French - "Bonjour." Then he and Liam ran up and down the nice long hallways. Liam didn't want to leave. He actually sat down and cried when we tried to take him out of the classroom. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around, that he cries when we leave him there?
