Back to school
Tuesday marked backed to school here. I can't believe my youngest son, Wyn, is in Kindergarten. It was sad seeing my baby get on the bus. I'm not sure why. I'm so proud of him, he seems to be adjusting well but it stilled pulled on my heart. It doesn't feel like he was born yesterday, and he went to pre school (but only 3 days). I just can't help but feel a little empty. My theory is this is why so many people get dogs.

When I son, now 26, turned 10 I had an overwhelming need to get a puppy...and we did. This too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteBest,

I know the feeling. My middle baby has gone off to Kindergarten too and I still feel a little empty but *sigh* the hardest part of being a parent is letting go little by little. One day the tiny babies we brought home are going to say "I met my future bride/groom". Ok I'm going to make myself cry here. But they will always be your baby boys...even when they're 45...
ReplyDeleteMy eldest started kindergarten this fall - I can't believe it! We're holding off on the dog for a while. Maybe when the youngest starts kindergarten. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a retired teacher so I was around the school system back in the dark ages. It cracked me up when Geek Son started kindergarten my three old Social Butterfly told everyone she was five, thinkin' she would get to ride the 'gool bus'! Heeehehehe!
ReplyDeleteYou'll get in the routine and do great sweetie. I know these things.
God bless your day sweetie! :o)
All will be well. You will LOVE when he starts bringing home his work to proudly show you.
ReplyDeletekeeping my darling "nephews" and you in my thoughts big sis :)

Oh my dear .. your little man is growing up ... just think how much he will come home with each day to share... can't wait to read about his adventures via your posts!! XO HHL
ReplyDeleteAwwww...I cried for 8 days when my oldest went to kindergarten. My middle goes next year...probably 2 weeks worth of crying from my end. And when my baby goes...my sweet baby boy...I'll never stop crying...even thru college! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat you're feeling is normal, but may I suggest waiting til they go off to college to take the puppy plunge. That's what I did. I bought a precious 6 week-old miniature scnauzer puppy when Rachael left for college.
ReplyDeleteAwww this is so sweet! I don't have children so I can't really relate, but according to my mother... "mothers will always think of their children as little babies, regardless their age!" =)
ReplyDeleteDon't they look handsome!
ReplyDeleteI haven't any children, yet, but I can only imagine the feeling of watching them grow up. It happens so quickly doesn't it?
Adorable picture. Congrats to Wyn! My son started kindergarten a few weeks ago. I enjoy the "me" time, but miss him as well. Thanks for sharing and take care.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, make way for more refrigerator art!
ReplyDeleteOur twins started Kindergarten this year also. I know it's tough, but I have to admit that I've grown accustomed to the free time very quickly! I bet you do too : ) Congtrats to your little one.
ReplyDeleteBittersweet, but still exciting. I was a career mom, so when my oldest started kindergarten, I took my monthly savings from childcare and put in a pool - I didn't wait - the pool was in, landscaped and ready to use by mid September. It was a wonderful gift to the whole family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving your little note on my last post. Rita
time just flying when is about our kids ... The last one is always a "baby" in our eyes and heart : happy back to school to him and to you ( more time to blog no?)

I don't have any kids, but this post made me want to get a puppy!
ReplyDeletei love back to school pics! i don't have kids yet but at the first day of school at my elementary where i work all the kindergarden mom's were all choked up and it made me get all choked up! haha!
ReplyDeleteThe boys look so sweet in this picture. KG is a big deal...don't worry though...if you do get a dog, it will giv eyou plenty of love. I can't imagine life without our dog, and in 5 years when I send my little bun in the oven to KG...I'm sure I'll be glad to have the dog with me. xoxo
ReplyDeleteDarling pic. I totally understand how you feel darlin'. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI know my day is coming and I don't like it one bit. HA!
