I have TONS of stuff swirling around in my mind these days. Some of it has to do with the fact that it’s a new year and some of it is just because. Here is just one of the things…
Tonight The B Man and I were lying in his bed doing our normal routine of book, prayers then snuggle and he brought up Kindergarten and how he doesn’t want to go. Yes, this is the YEAR that he will start school.
I laid there with his head in the crook of my arm, stroking his hair, telling him not to worry about it now. But all the while all I could think about was how he will of course go but I don’t want him to either. And the reasons for that are multi-faceted. The main one being selfish – you know that part about how I have to get my bootie outta bed to get him there on time. Oh sweet sleep, how I’ll miss you so!
And then there’s the fact that he will be gone EVERY day of the week, most of the day. I mean hello!! I’m gonna miss my little guy! As I am sure his brother will too. Oh and then there’s the part about keeping up with all his school “stuff.” I am SO not looking forward to that. Lazy much?
I don’t know why we are thinking about this already considering it is eight plus months away but he will turn 5 in less than 3 months and to me, that means Kindergarten.
As he began to drift off, I started thinking about how I want to make this a great summer for him {and us}. I want to be able to appreciate every little wonderful moment of us ALL together, doing fun things and making sure he has no stress leading up to the big transition. But then again, I think I’ll just start now. Besides, that’s pretty much what I said I would do in
my resolutions.
So yeah – 2009 begins the school years for our family. Not only am I somewhat befuddled by that fact but I am also just wondering how it got here SO very fast…
