James is a year...Totally and completely get it!!!!<br /><br />James is a year younger and started school this year, too. It's how it is done here (full days, too-- he's not yet 3!) and I had to suck it up (ie pretend it was ok before I had my own emotional meltdown) and move forward to the idea of him being a schoolboy and not a little boy. I cried his first day. So did he. I felt awful. He looked small next to the older kids going to the older classes. He didn't look ready...then, I also realized it was me who wasn't ready. He's made friends already and although he's not 100% in love with his teacher, he's happy to leave everyday and skips up the street to his school. When he goes, I feel this guilty, vacant spot...I hope that goes away cuz I hate it.<br /><br />The good part is that Little Girl and I now get alone-time which her brother got as a little one and she hasn't thus far. I try to focus on that but I tell you, when that gate opens everyday at 4:20 to pick you kids up, I'm one of the first pushy Mamans through the door!!! <br /><br />Good luck, T. It's a huge HUGE step but you'll come out fine. Think of these poor kids...they're now part of the education system for the next 14-25 years depending on how far they want to go with their education! YIKES!!!!<br /><br />x's and o's from over here...Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05787367495719618570noreply@blogger.com
