Bye Bye, Baby.

 We have 2 weeks left of "Cole & Mom" time.  Then he's off to kindergarten this fall.  How will I justify secret ice cream trips?

 The training wheels are long gone.  No more afternoon stroller naps.

 I will miss our grubby fingered JJ's at the park.

 No more lazy afternoon book-reading marathons in the backyard.

 I was taking a short break from reading the 6th Bernstein Bear of the afternoon:
Me:  You're cute.
Cole:  Thank you.
Me:  Was your mommy a bunny?
Cole:  No!  Arggh!
Me:  Was your daddy a bunny?
Cole:  Yes!!  Now READ!

 Eek.  

 He hated his preschool graduation performance with every fiber of his being.  All those people looking at him!  Hear ye, baby!  Hear ye.  Regarding the Gummy Bear dance:  "All of the friends were singing it loud and it was soo annoying.  I just sat on my star [on the rug] and be'd annoyed."

I can still see my baby in there.  He's not so far gone yet.  Glad we can ease into this big-boy thing.  I don't think my heart could take it otherwise.
