Today Jay and I went the Open House at the school where BB will start in September for pre-school. (Go Wildcats!) Um, nothing prepares you, as a Mom, for envisioning your own little tiny baby, who you wished and prayed for, to be going to school. The thought of it literally made me weepy today--with anxiety and excitement. Jay was great and held himself together very well, but I saw his face as we watched those little ones playing and learning, and playing some more. He was imagining BB in his little uniform with the other kids....making friends, going to the bathroom all by his little self, tracing letters and numbers and having fun....without us. I know he needs to grow up and be his own little (handsome!) person but would be okay if I did it with him? You know, in case he needs me. :) I'll pay my own tuition-- and I'm totally potty-trained. Win-win.
Okay Moms, let me have it. Share your experiences with your little ones going to preschool!
LOL, I still get weepy every year...and I have one in college, one in 9th grade and one in 4th grade. I am not sure if it is all sadness as I get excited for them but sad for me.
