My little boy is starting Kindergarten. Will he be able to find his class after that first day? Will he know when to get off of the bus on his way home? Are kids going to be mean to him? Will he know how to work his way around the cafeteria? Will he stay my sweet happy incredibly innocent little boy?
I know I had said in an earlier post that we were going to keep him home this year and start kindergarten a year late, but we ended up changing our minds for a bunch of reasons. Mainly I realized if we did that he would be 19 when he graduated and I really want him to be able to go on a mission when he is 18. Now...I am having second thoughts. He starts school next Thursday. What the heck happened to summer?!? I feel like time has stolen him from me. I know this is all just first time mommy worries, but MAN...I feel like I'm sending him out to the wolves. This is all way harder than I imagined it would be.
I still see him as this clumsy toddler who from the age of 2 has been in love with Harry Potter. How is it possible he is old enough to ride a bus, find his class, and spend all day five days a week away from me? I am going to do my best to hold it together next week and be brave...because he is so darn excited....but it's going to be tough.
I hope school is everything he has been dreaming it would be and that he will always stay my silly sweet little boy....at least until Middle School.
