Mommy, Why does Kindergarten go so fast?

I was so proud of Zach but I couldn't post right away.  I had to make sure it wasn't too good to be true.  I'm not even going to write about how I thought the day was going to go or why I thought it was going to go that way!  I am just going to be proud and thankful and happy that our first day of Kindergarten was perfect! After a lot of discussion and preparation, the first day finally arrived.  As I watched him line up in single file, I gave him one big hug and kiss and he said "Watch me go in, mommy!"  And that was it.  I really didn't get anything done at work that first day. I just could hardly wait to get him.  When I arrived, I was welcomed with "Today, was great."  Our party animal also doesn't pay us a visit during the sleeping hours either anymore ... a Miracle!  So about a week in, we are getting ready and this how the conversation goes:

Zach:  "Mama, the day after tomorrow ... is it Friday already ... again?"
Me:  "Yes, buddy it is."
Zach:  So, tomorrow .. it's Friday - the weekend?"
Me:  "Yes, it's the weekend, again."
Zach: "Why does Kindergarten go so fast? I mean, the week goes by really fast."
Me:  "Because you are having fun.  When you have fun, time goes by fast - because you are happy."
Zach:  "I am happy!  Jeremy's school (and his school up until two weeks ago) didn't go by that fast."
Me:  "I know buddy ..."

Needless to say, we are thrilled with Zach's class, teacher, progress and most of all the huge smile on his face!
