Each year I get so excited for the first day of school. Mostly because the last two weeks of Summer, when all the activities have dries up, and patience is wearing thin, I don't want to be spending all day with my boys. Love em' to death, but the three of them together all day can be a bit much. But there always comes that time, where we get to school, I get my son all settled in at his desk, and then the teacher says "Okay parents, time to say goodbye." Ugh! Tears coming rushing to my eyes and I have to hide my face, mostly for shame. My son is a second grader this year you'd think I would be over it. But it's hard. Every year, it's like a reminder that I have to send my child out into the world, alone. At least when he is with me I know what his day is like, I can talk to him, we can share things. But school, school is this black abyss of unknown activities. Sure your teacher gives you the break down of what there school day will most likely look like, but that isn't the whole picture. For me, the first day of school is a gentle reminder that my son is inching his way towards independence. It's also a reminder, that I need to get a grip. Wyatt rocked his first day of school, and I cried.
I feel very sad. As I can see that they find it hard to let go of us as mothers. Them going to school for the first time is their first step of independence. For me its a really trying time. If only my babies know, I find it harder then they do. But, as moms, we must be stronger always.I will really miss our times together when my little ones go away to primary school. I am finding it hard to drop them off at kindy as it is now! well just have to toughen up and hope for the best in them and in me. I leave it to the Good Lord to show us through our troubles and worries and trust He will get us through:)
