Life With a Kindergartener

How did my baby grow up so fast? Here we are on day 3 of Kindergarten. He's doing FANTASTIC! Loves his teacher, gets up for school without a fuss, says goodbye easily and has a smile on his face.

Mommy on the other hand still has a hard time letting him go. I still get really sad when he walks off to class, marching in his class line, all independently. I worry about him while he's gone. (What if he can't open his water bottle, what if kids are mean to him, what if he doesn't understand his school work, what if he gets lost on the way to the bathroom, etc.)

I know I need to let him find his own way and it's a part of growing up, but I miss my little! On the other hand, the house is cleaner than it's been in the past 5 years! And he's already learning. I can see what a great year academically this will be for him. Each week they get sight words that they have to learn and spell. He already knows this week's! (He'll be tested on it on Friday, so we'll see how he does!)

Time sure is flying by.
