Sunday is Hoss's birthday. I can't believe it!! He'll be 8 years old.
8 years ago on September 18th at about 7:30am my life changed. There's not doubt about it. I have a photo of the first time I held him. He was so little, and yet, so big. He weighed over 9lbs.
I dropped him off at school this morning because he missed the bus. I wasn't too far down the road when his mom called me and asked if I could drop him off. I pulled over and waited for them to get there. When he got in the truck and we started talking about stuff he mentioned how excited that Buzz, Woody, and Snort were coming over today. We discussed plans a little bit and I realized how grown up he is. It's so crazy and scary and it's a little hard to take.
I told Hoss that I hadn't been to that school in ages. My siblings and I attended 4th and 5th grade in this school house. I don't want to think how long ago that was!!! Now it holds the 2nd and 3rd grade. I remember thinking the old school was huge. I bet Hoss thinks the same thing.
And then I turned down the wrong road to get to the kid drop off side of the school and we tookt he scenic route back over there. He was plenty early. I was a little late to watch Ruby. It all worked out fine.
So......Happy 8th Birthday Hoss!! I love ya!!!
