Thailog80 Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 It's been my little girl (Avery) and I together at home for four years now. Today the big bad mean school system took her away for six hours a day. Talk about daddy's heart breaking....I miss her terribly already. But we're coming to Buffalo on Saturday..........WOOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
USMCBillsFan Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Yeah, well I have less than two years and my little girl will be off to college. It goes so fast so enjoy the ride.
JinVA Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Just think T before you know it she'll be dating BOYS!

Bill from NYC Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 It's been my liitle girl and I together at home for four years now. Today the big bad mean school system took her away for six hours a day. Talk about daddy's heart breaking....I miss her terribly already. But we're coming to Buffalo on Saturday..........WOOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! 21644[/snapback] Congrats!!! I remember taking my oldest to Kindegarten as if it were yesterday, and she is now a college junior. There were kids crying, but my daughter was looking forward to school and marched right in. The problem was not her, it was me. I was so emotionally shaken, I needed time alone to get myself together. Enjoy these precious days.
JoeF Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 T- We sent daughter #2 to K in mid August...she's our actress and drama queen. Sings every word in conversation. I usually work from home one or two days a week and she is definitely a light up your life kid. Miss her as well. As you know, that transition is really hard on mom and dad.... My wife and I have temporarily solved the issue by restocking the preK pool---we have a 2 year old son and at 44 I am going to be a dad for the 4th time in February....I wouldn't recommend that strategy though....let's see I figure I will finish paying for college right when I am ready to switch to Depends.....
Thailog80 Posted September 8, 2004 Author Posted September 8, 2004 Just think T before you know it she'll be dating BOYS! 21652[/snapback] She told me that she'll only marry a boy who is a Buffalo Bills fan..... She knows how to play the old man pretty well.

BRH Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Ah feel yo' pain, T80. My baby girl heads off to all-day kindergarten tomorrow. She's been going to nursery and pre-K half days for the last two years so I probably won't be as verklempt about it, but I'm sure it will hit me tomorrow when I drop her off. And I recommend JoeF's strategy of restocking -- got a 20-month old boy myself. Who will probably miss his sister even more than his parents do, and that's a lot.

Now the little one is off to school. I stayed until ten this morning until they tossed us out . Some people just tossed their kids in there and said bye and left the kid blubbering and scared....that pissed me off.
tmk-nj Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I know the feeling! My daughter just started 6th grade and my son 3rd. I feel bad for them that summer is over. They will miss school monday so they can go with Daddy and Mommy to the Bills game. And we will use Monday as a travel day back to NJ. tmk-nj Tom

Thurman's Helmet Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 My little girl is starting Kindergarten on Monday. We just had the orientation yesterday, I think I'm more nervous than she is.

I think the boy will be ready earlier than the girl, only because he displays a greater ability to sit still than she ever did. I'm taking the girl to the Syracuse-UB game on Saturday night, though, to start breaking her in. I'll probably take her to a few Penfield football games this fall since my buddy's nephew is their quarterback (and the first good one Penfield has had since his father and uncle QB'd there in the early '70s). Then my dad and I go to the game Sunday. We're sitting in the Jim Kelly Club! Woo hoo!

Thailog80 Posted September 8, 2004 Author Posted September 8, 2004 Did she wear her Bill's shirt? 21699[/snapback] No ....she wouldn't agree to it....I tried!!! She'll be wearing her Bledsoe jersey this Sunday though. Eryn....Im having a tough day...
#89 Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 BOY are you people OLD. My secret NO kids to show just how old I am. It's nice to read that you guys are that close to your kids
Mark VI Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 My daughter started 2nd grade today. I wish I could just freeze her in time. She's so friggin' cute right now. Rarely gives the Mrs. and I any hard times. I KNOW that will change ! I guess I know how my parents felt....about my sister... They couldn't WAIT for me to leave...
