Today has been such an emotional day for me. My little boy went to kindergarten for the first time. Part of me was so happy to see him go. To know that he would have the confidence to walk into this new world of his. Part of me was so incredibly sad to see him leave for school today.
Hubs and I had discussed over and over if we would allow him to ride the bus this year. The pick up bus was no question at all since it was just kindergartners but the afternoon bus had all the kids from kindergarten to fifth grade. Could we let our little boy get on that bus? Finally we decided that we would since Pumpkin would be on it as well. Of course that decision was made after Pumpkin cried about the possible pick up of her instead of letting her ride the bus.
So I sat at the end of the street a little bit ago,worrying so much because my babies were late coming home. I’ll be happy when all this seems normal to me. As much as he drives me insane without them,I’m wreck until I know they are safe.

I bet you are a nervous wreck. they are so little in kindergarten.
I rolled through the car pool this morning,unlocked the doors,opened them and gave a good shove to both the kids,driving off cackling…HAVE A GREAT FIRST DAY!
The bus is often late the first week –until the kids figure out what bus is theres,and where it will be parked each day.
You may find that you look forward to the peace and quiet when they’re gone,and you may really look forward to them coming home and telling you all that they learned that day.
Growing up is so exciting!
Tami,Hope yesterday went well for you and your babies. When my children went to school away from home,it was always so hard on me too. Hope they like their teachers and school. Blessings,
letting the children seperate from us parents is tough. it’s better to do this now vs when older. rose
Believe me,you’ll get over it. They’ll be fine. And you’ll love the silence. You may even be able to think or have a complete conversation with someone. Or even make a phone call! WHAT A CONCEPT!
It is an emotional time,a milestone. You suffer more than they do.
