This fall...

...Jude will be standing with Abby to have his picture taken... for his first day of school too!

...they will play at the bus stop before they both get on the bus.

...Jude won't be sad to see his big sister leaving on the bus, because he'll be with her!

...it'll just be Jordy, standing on the sidewalk with Mummy, waving as the bus takes Abbs and Jude to school.

Although we attended the JK information night for Abby, I wanted to go again for Jude. I didn't tear up... right away anyway. I just thought about him at school, so little and yet so grown up. I thought about how he wouldn't be at home with me everyday anymore. Another adult would be spending his/her day with our sweet Jude. I pray they will get to know him and learn how funny, sensitive and caring he is.

He's such an amazing big brother, very patient and kind with Jordan. He's also a great little brother, but he can be a typical little brother and make noises or chew in a way to annoy his sister to the point of yelling, with a little smile on his face. I find it kind of funny actually... until Abby's yelling reaches our tolerance level.

I registered Jude on Monday. He will officially be a JK student in September :) Abby will be in Grade 1. This picture, taken the day Jude was born after we arrived home from the hospital, doesn't seem that long ago...
