Back to School

My five-year-old will be starting Kindergarten in 3.5 weeks. Can I stress to you how unprepared I am for this milestone?

I am unprepared to have him gone for 6.5 hours a day. I am unprepared for him to get dropped off at school and run in to his classroom all by himself. I am really unprepared to let go of my baby is what it comes down to.

He has blossomed and grown so much this summer. He has become independent and extremely socially. Two characteristics that will for sure help him in K. He loves making new friends (preferably blonde girls) and loves making others laugh.

But this mommy loves her first born with such fierceness that I can't even get my head around him starting elementary school. My little man still loves to hold my hand in public and give me lots of kisses and hugs. His dad and I are the center of his universe and I guess I don't want those things to change.

So as we begin this new chapter of his academic career may I remain calm, positive and as least psycho as I can be! Giving up so much control of his life to Kindergarten teachers is a lot for me, but I must trust in them and trust that my William will grow and flourish in his new learning environment!
