My baby is going to kindergarten. In 15 days. He is excited. I am holding it together pretty well; I'm keeping the crying down to a minimum. We've been talking a fair amount about this transition, and my son seems prepared. We'll see how the next two weeks go, of course. Since this is such a big deal, I needed a ritual--some activity he and I could do together that would make all of this growing up really... real.
