Kindergarten....

How in the HECK did we get to this point, and am I a bad mom if I decide to skip the whole "school" thing and just keep him home forever? **raises brow** I really am being serious here. I don't want him to go, don't want anything to do with it, don't want to even remotely want to do the whole "first day of school" thing...I will die. I will absolutely have a freaking panic attack.

So needless to say, the law says I have to enroll him in school. Yes I can actually wait one more year, but I don't want to have him be the tall kid in the class, and have the other kids wonder why he is older than them, so away he will go in the fall. I just am dragging my feet sooo hard about it because I know once I let him go, the faster I will lose him. Once kids start school, time flies so dang fast. I know I am being overly dramatic about it, but hey, it is my right. One day he will read this and I really want him to know how much he means the WORLD to me, and that I have such immense love for him. He is just the MOST incredible little guy you will ever meet, and I feel like a huge part of him going to school is being taken away from me. I am an emotional wreck over this whole ordeal, but alas, I put on the bravest face for him, and I try to build his confidence up that this is going to be something really great.

He was very apprehensive going to the school last night. So much that as soon as we got inside, he begged to get out of there. Lucky for us, they gathered up all the kids so they didn't have to sit through the boring stuff, and took them for a story time, and then to his classroom to play and discover what they had to offer. The whole time we were sitting through the presentation, I was worried sick about how he was doing, what he was doing, if he was scared, if he was freaking out...but he wasn't. We went and collected him 2 hours (almost) later and he was playing in the classroom. He was loving every moment of it, he was NOT wanting to leave. He will do great there, and his teachers look sooooo much the part of Kindergarten teachers. Just completely adorable ladies. I took pics, but for privacy sake I am going to keep those sacred. The mural in the front of the school has it's address on it, and we decided we should have something to ourselves for once. :)

We will get through it. I keep saying he will be fine, I will be fine..it will just take some time.
