We just got word yesterday that registration at our local school for junior kindergarten is the week after next. We’ll have to go over to register the Captain, who will begin attending school five days a week in September. It actually pretty sad for me. I remember when he was born, school seemed so far away as to be unimaginable, and now, here it is already. I know I’ve kind of had the luxury of seeing him all day, every day, up until now — Sir Monkeypants, who works for a living, laughs at me when I get all misty-eyed about the Captain going away for 2 1/2 hours a day. But still! My baby! Growing up! Sigh.

In other Captain news, for the past two days he has gotten up at night, used the bathroom all by himself, and got himself back in bed, all without calling for help. We actually slept right through it. Miracle of miracles! I thank the new Buzz Lightyear nightlight we got for the outlet near his door for this great nighttime gift. I guess I can live with JK if it means that at least one of our kids can be self-sufficient throughout the whole night!
