Tomorrow morning I will walk my little boy hand in hand to his classroom and give him a kiss and hug. Then, I will have have to walk out and leave him there. All alone. Without me. I have been beyond blessed to be able to stay home with him in the first 5 years of his life. Tomorrow will be a first for both of us! It will be the first time he has to navigate through his day without me right by his side to answer questions about something he isnt sure of. It will be the first time he has to be alone with people he doesnt know very well. He will have to make choices and decisions all on his own without me there to reassure him or direct him in the right direction. I have so many worries, as Im sure all mommys do when leaving their babies somewhere. Will he be kind to the other kids? Will the other kids be kind to him? Will he use his manners and say yes maam and no maam? Will he do what is right when no one is looking? What will he do if he is afraid or not sure about something? Will he help someone who needs help? All of these questions and more are playing in my mind. I am happy and so proud of the little man he is becoming and so excited to see how much he learns and grows while going to school. On the other end I am sad because I know that the days of him being only mine are over. I must let him go and give him the space to spread his wings and learn to fly. For 5 years I have spent every second of every day with my little boy. (Unless he spent the night with grandparents.) Now, we will both embark on a whole new adventure. Im scared, sad, anxious, happy, proud and excited all at the same time! I know deep down that he will be okay though! He says hes ready for kindergarten, just wish I was too! ;-)
