I can’t believe kindergarten starts tomorrow.
It seems like just yesterday we were starting preschool. It seems like just yesterday that he looked like this.
I find myself nervous. I don’t exactly know why. I know in my heart of hearts that he’ll be fine. He’s excited and ready to learn, that’s for sure!
But kindergarten starts a new phase of life. We can’t turn back from here. Gone is my baby and in his place is a sweet boy with the whole world at his fingertips. I hope he makes good choices. I hope he finds good friends. I hope his teachers push his just enough and encourage him the rest of the way.
My heart is conflicted. It’s full of love and excitement, but I also mourn the innocence that is about to be left behind.
The world is a big place and can be oh so overwhelming at times.
Open your wings my boy. It’s time for you to fly.
Thinking of you today. He’s gonna do great!! And wow that last pic looks so grown up!
