Our world turned upside down...in a good way!

And this little guy is the one responsible! Nathan, our little acrobat, has thrown us for a loop since his very difficult birth. He's just always marched to his own beat, followed the path less traveled....you get the idea. Long story short, we're still trying to learn every day how to make life a little easier for him, while still teaching him that certain things aren't negotiable. To add to the chaos of life, Nathan started preschool today, and will be going two mornings a week. We're hoping that the introduction to structure and routine (by people other than Mom and Dad) will be beneficial to him in preparing him for school.

His teachers said he did very well today...Mom had a harder time. I'm not sure I'm ready to share him with the world, though I know it is the best thing for him. I spend moments of every day wishing he was past these difficult stages, but more moments in a panic over how quickly he's grown up. We'll see how he does in the coming week...it will be a good thing....I think.

Way to go Nathan...I can't wait to hear all about school...I feel your pain about sharing him, but like you said, it will be a good experience for him! Love it!

Love that picture! I'm excited to see how he progresses over the next few years. Such a fun boy!
