Dreading Tuesday

Tuesday is only two days away. Tuesday is coming too fast. Tuesday is bothering me way more than turning 40. The thought of Tuesday brings tears to my eyes. Tuesday is the day I register my last baby for kindergarten. This is my baby who says from the back carseat "I don't have to go to kindergarten if you don't want me too." This is my Jack, getting taller every day, who bravely strikes up conversations with strangers at Walmart, much like his Papa Beach, Nana Brown, and his mother, according to Pete. This is my Jack who still won't close the door to go potty because he is scared. This is my Jack who cannot fall asleep without a story, back scratches and two songs - "Baby Mine" from Dumbo, and "Pass It On." This is my Jack who calls ME his "pride and joy." This is my Jack who tells me I could be a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader. Yes Jack, I do want you to go to kindergarten! Just slowly...
