In the MOMent Monday with Sarah

Filed Under: Family

My first baby boy will be turning five on February 29th! I can not believe it. Where has time gone? I was just looking at him playing on the iPad the other day thinking how grown he looked. Has it really been 5 years since he was this little?

Dustyn is now in school, can get dressed on his own and knows how to work the iPad better then me… Seems like he doesn’t need me anymore, though I know he does. He needs me to guide him and love him. Show him right and wrong. Help him grow into a man that will make me proud.

Dustyn really loves going to pre-k five days a week. I can not believe how much he has learned. Sometimes I feel guilty sending him. Since he is only 4 and he goes from 7:45-2:15. That is a long day for him. I do feel like it was the right decision for our family. He wasn’t getting enough attention at home. Carsyn has so many therapy and doctor’s appointments plus all the exercises I am suppose to do with him daily. It is hard to find one on one time with Dustyn, but I do try.

The other day we were hanging out on the couch, watching a movie, and eating popcorn. I kept kissing him and telling him how much I loved him. He looked up at me and said “Mom, stop kissing me.” Ugh. Seriously. Not looking forward to the teenage years. I am going to miss this little boy so much. He may drive me insane sometimes but I am not ready for him to grow up.

Can I just pause time please?

    Oh man, I LOVE these pictures - I can't believe how old he is already!! Glad he is loving Pre-K! If it's any consolation, not-even-3 Mason gets mad at me for trying to kiss him ALL the time. LOL

    They grow up so fast :-(. I still can't believe I have a 6 year old, 4 year old, and my baby is turning one in a month. He was an adorable little baby and I love that photo and he's a cute big boy now :-)!

    Oh, I know this bittersweet too well. It is amazing to watch them grow, but the desire to keep them little is still there. 5 is such a milestone! I can remember pics of little Dustyn in blog posts of yore!

    If only we could just pause time for JUST a little while. I found a picture of one of my nephews from when he was about 11 months old the other day. He turned 6 last month. I stuck it on the fridge just because it was so cute, but right next to it there was already his school picture from Kindergarten - he can read - like for real. Life is crazy and it goes crazy fast!

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.
Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more f Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more first day of school photos to go. 😭

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.

Prestyn’s last day vs first day. Another one tha Prestyn’s last day vs first day. Another one that needs a hair cut and he has been bugging me about it. 🤣 Didn’t really notice how long it was until I compared it to the other photo. Prestyn had a great year and has made some amazing friends. He can’t wait to start 2nd grade next year.

Carsyn went through a rough time at school, losing his best friend in the classroom, and losing one of his favorite teachers but he has done amazing adjusting.
