Preschool hunting for MOM?

     So today is the day.  I am taking Liam to go look at a preschool.  He is so excited because he thinks he will be able to ride a bus to school.  Oh how my heart breaks when I think about when he realizes that is not the case.  I knew this day would come.  I just didn't think it would be so soon.  Alexis was three when she started preschool, and I was in college.  I would joke to her that mommy and Lexi have designated home work time after school.  Of course she didn't get what I meant, she was just thrilled to be hanging with me.  Now I am experiencing de ja vu.  I will still be in college when Liam strts preschool.

     Now it is Liam's turn.  When the hell did this happen?  It feels like yesterday I was breastfeeding him and changing diapers, now he is going to the bathroom by himself, and is having actually adult conversations with me.  He has been by my side since the day he was born, and I am proud to admit he is a mini me.  But school, already?  I am almost a year into my bachelors program, and when he starts, both my babies and I will all be in school.  Is that weird? 

    I started this blog to talk about what is was like growing up with my daughter, but at 26, I still feel like I am growing up.  I am at a different stage in my life, my values and morals are different since Lex was born, and everyday feels like my childhood all over again (minus the inattentive, unloving droids I call my parents).  SERIOUSLY, I am doing college level work, but when Alexis comes home and asks me for help with her home work I can't help her all the time.  I feel so dumb.  I have to start reading her text books (yes, they still use those things) and notes out loud to help her.  Is this what my life has become? Is my adult hood becoming the childhood I never had?  With every child will I grow with them?  I kinda like it.  But, some days I wish I was ahead of the game.
