The other day when i told Sheamus i wanted to "wrap him like a present and gobble him up" he looked at me with one part horror, one part disgust and two parts complete confusion, and it donned on me....he is totally ready for Kindergarten.
Recently Sheamus's preschool teacher (who is fantastic in every way) made a very sweet public comment about mine and Adam's parenting style. Since I know it's not polite to deflect such a compliment, Adam and I just laughed to ourselves at what a good job Sheamus has done making people think his total sweetness has anything to do with us. If he were my first child it would be easy to dupe myself into thinking I was doing everything right (teaching manners, empathy, and good nature). A beacon of patience and wisdom if you will. But in reality, I am just feeling lucky i haven't corrupted him with my tarnished soul.

It has been invaluable having him primarily home with me for the last 5 1/2 years. I'm grateful for his late birthday so i could keep him one year longer (hands rubbing greedily together). But now its time for him to move on from the kung fu grip of this adoring mother. If for nothing else than to escape the possibility of this creepshow life.
Love you face.
team Boo ♥'s you

Sweet and handsome. Too bad arranging marriages for our children is so frowned upon in our culture. :)
Im sending my boy to kindergarten this year too. Im happy and crying all at the same time. But that video is all the motivation I need! Holy weirdness! Where does one find such a LARGE sleeper?
"I am just lucky I haven't tarnished him with my tarnished soul?" Why oh why didn't you write this before mother's day.. you would have helped me write so many mother's day cards :) mine included.
