What happened?!
I am deviating from our selected topic for this week, because I have something heavy on my heart. My baby is starting kindergarten on Monday, and I really have mixed feelings about it. It's so weird, because I have 3 boys, 15, 12, and 5 (yesterday, Happy bday baby boy!) and I actually cried last night at Meet the Teacher night and I never cried with my two older boys. I even thought, at the time, that my middle son was going to be my last child, and that I was sending my "baby" to kindergarten when he went, but I still didn't get upset and cry. I don't know what the difference is this time. He's ready, even though he just turned 5, and he's very social and loves to have friends, but it's me having the hard time. I know it will all be fine after a few days. Maybe I'm just sad that this part of my life is over. He's the last one, and this time of my life is over--having little toddlers or preschoolers. The days of just staying home and watching preschool shows will be coming to an end, and it makes me sad.

Beth,
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel and it is at the same time a happy and sad feeling. My son went to kindergarten last year and now he is 1st grade. Seeing him grow does make me sad but you have to remember and cherish the moments that you have right now with him. Take lots of pictures and never stop smiling and remember that you are a great mother to him and the rest of your children. They are truely a blessing and live every moment. Everything will be fine your boys are growing and striving everyday because of you. Keep your head up girl and remember...take lots of pictures! ;)
