This was a day I'd been waiting for for a long time. Kindergarten! I was so excited for Connor to start - he's sooooo ready and I hear outstanding things about our school. It was an exciting day then, right? I never expected that I would have reservations. Certainly not be emotional. And yet... this was a really hard day for me. Actually, the day before I began to feel some panic, and by the time we were walking up to the school it was all I could do to hold it together for Connor. I still can't totally explain it, other than I knew things were really changing, his world was getting much larger, and he would be out of my realm of control in a whole new way. No more walking him into his classroom to say goodbye even. See him walking up those steps all by himself? One of those pangs that only a mother will ever understand.
The good news? He was really, really excited and had an awesome day. We love his teacher and he even lucked out and has kids he knows in his class. All around it was great. But Mom was still weepy most of the day and unable to focus much at work. This is going to be a big transition - for me.
