Well, kind of. Chad and I will take him to Kindergarten and he will meet his teacher, spend time in his classroom, see his classmates and become acclimated to his environment. We will eat lunch in the cafeteria (I am oh so excited about that) and do our best to create excitement in our little guy who has professed a few “I’m scared’s”
Friday, he goes solo.
I let him know that sometimes Mommy gets scared, too.
When I write in this blog I often think about the day when Charlie and Chanelle will read my words. I wonder if these weekly play by plays of our life will be as special to them as they are to me. I hope that when they read the events of long ago, they will understand more fully how much we love them.
The ongoing lesson of parenthood. . .Sometimes, loving them is letting them go.
As I anticipate the events of this morning my heart overflows with emotion. It’s exciting and difficult at the same time. To sit here and write about it will only needlessly stir the emotion.
I don’t need my emotions stirred, so I will keep it short.
There are a few things I know about my boy. . .
A kiss will always woo him. . .
The skies are the limit, my Boy. There is nothing you can’t do.
O it will all be ok!!! He will thrive and make new buddies!!! He will be excited to learn and do new things. They will know the love you have for them when they are older:) I have been praying for you and him this morning. I remember those days and now they are 19 and 21 and in college and heading off to DC. But that is part of lovig them, letting them go. Hope it went well. Let me know.
Oh, this made me tear up. It makes me think of S starting preschool in a few weeks. She's scared too. I keep telling her it's okay, like you said, because Mama is scared too (I am). We will be scared together…and then excited together…and then share in the fun of it all together. I love your last quote. I need to start reciting that to S.
is it me or do the kiddos look more angelic than normal!? can't wait to hear all about the school days!!!
love you.
