I closed my eyes for a second and when I opened them you weren't a baby any more. How many times did I wish the days would go by more quickly? How many times did I say I couldn't wait until you could get dressed by yourself, put your shoes on by yourself, go to the bathroom by yourself. Now that you are bigger, I wish you could have stayed my little baby boy just a little while longer. Why didn't I savour every minute of babyness?
I am in denial that you are starting school in 6 days.
Around me people are getting ready for back to school. Stores are bustling with people shopping for clothes, backpacks, supplies. Teachers are busy preparing their classrooms, anxiously awaiting your arrival.
I am not thinking about you starting school next week.
By not thinking about it I can put if off for as long as possible and pretend that it isn't really happening. You won't really be taking a school bus every day. You're not really leaving me and Mieka for 8 hours a day, to figure out the world on your own. You aren't really turning four in two months.
How did this happen? How did you grow so fast?

Wow. I dread how fast that happens. Hope you don't mind me asking, did you have the option of waiting until next year (V is a Dec baby so I'm trying to sort this out for next year) and if so would he have gone to SK anyways? I've heard conflicting reports *g*
I am in a bit of shock too. I don't think it will seem real until it happens.
it's such a big step and i'm nervous for all the kids starting this year, but I think it's exciting to watch them take the next big step in their lives. And I think the nerves will only last a few days for me. maybe ;)
