This past Friday was Seth's Kindergarten year end program.
It started off as each student went on stage and said what they liked about Kindergarten. I watched Seth through the video camera and was just taken by how grown up he looked. He approached the mike and said his favorite part was their play "How Does Your Garden Grow?"
They then all sang as a group, and since Shelley was able to get there early, we sat close enough that I could distinguish his voice from all the other kids. I sat there and listened and could hear the slight lisp that he has since he had just lost his second tooth that morning.
A slide show ran that captured all the pictures from the year. I looked through the crowd and at all the teachers and tears were running down everyone's face.
Our babies weren't babies anymore.
Seth,
I love you and you will always be my baby.
Dad

No More Red Drink Store?
Ever since Seth was about 2, something we have done and was always seen as something special, was going to QuikTrip together. Anytime we did something together, it often included a stop at QuikTrip so that Seth could get their strawberry banana Freezoni. (This is like an Icee.) This tradition has expanded to include Chase but his drink of choice is often either white cherry or blue rasberry.
Seth dubbed his favorite drink as a "red drink" and Chase has since followed suit calling his a "blue drink." Well, this then meant that QT was the "red drink" store, and for the last 4 years it has always been referred to in our house as the "red drink" store.
Well, another sad step in growing up occurred yesterday when Seth announced that he was going to start calling it QuikTrip instead of the "red drink store." This made me sad because it was just another sign that I can't keep them from growing up.

A conversation I overheard
Today we started scraping the wallpaper off of our walls in our bathroom. I was on a ladder with my back to the boys and they started having this conversation.
Chase - I want to go on the ladder.
Seth - When you are a grown man you can do whatever you want.
Chase - Like what?
Seth - You can do things on the ladder and you never have to go to your room.
