My Baby Went To School

I waited until this morning to write this because my 4 year old headed off on a bus today for all day preschool. I know I was anxious before hand. Actually the past few weeks. However, I wanted to write my feelings in the moment.

Meet D-man. This is his nickname, he even told the teacher his name was D-man. Ha-ha! He is my youngest of four. I have felt like such a horrible Mama because when the other three went to school. I was not heart broken but I am with this one. This one is hitting me hard. Every time I think about it, since he left at 8:00 a.m. this morning, I’ve had tears.

He is Mr. Personality and Mr. Silly. He is my hugger and kisser. He loves his Mama, their is no doubt!

I love him. He makes me laugh. It’s going to be really quiet…. I’m going to miss him!

Reality has set in that I will not have any children home with me all year long. It’s a strange feeling after over 14 years of being home most of the time with my kids. He’s my last baby to go to school… I’m going to miss him so much!

He looked so nervous getting on the bus. However, he was excited. I’m going to miss him today. As a matter of fact, I think it will take awhile before I’m “okay” with it. I can’t wait until he gets off that bus and tells me all about his first day.

So if I’m quiet for a few days, I’m just trying to let this life change settle in.

Blessings,

Chele

P.S. Thank you to all who posted that they are praying for my Aunt Jean. :)

    Oh how sweet! D-man will love it. There are some great people there. I am actually envious of you. I SO wish my son was on that bus with him. We could have cried together. I am trying to patiently wait on God’s timing for Ryan to go to school and me back to work. I am past ready for both.
    It will be OK mommy. If you need some noise and to hear the pitter patter of little feet, I will gladly drop Ryan off to you……..and run! LOL Just kidding. Here is a ((HUG)) and know that I will be thinking of you today. Keep me updated on how much fun he had when he gets home! Love ya girl!

    Wow, Michele. What a big day for the whole family! We hope Dalton has a great first day at school. These first few days can set a course for a life-long love of school and learning. You just worry about some tasty snacks when he gets home. :) Love you <3

    I have tears in my eyes just thinking about how you must feel. I know it must be tough, but you will get through it. Now he’s going to put his D-man mojo on everyone else:-)p
