the next step

Well, tonight we came to grips, maybe, with the next big milestone in our road. We took Cole to Kindergarten Round-up. He loved it! He got to meet his future teachers, see his classroom, meet the principal, play on the playground, they gave him a book to keep....he was in heaven! Afterwards, when we were at the ice cream parlor with the boys, it really dawned on Chris and I that WE HAVE A KINDERGARTNER!!!! We felt very old and sad at the same time! I don't know if I am ready to let go. Thankfully, he will only be away from me for half a day. One school year should get me used to it and hopefully ready to send him full day the following year. :) I pray for strength! :) hehe I pray for the strength to let go and not worry so much. But I am a mother - it's what we do best. I pray that I will be patient with the teachers, even if they aren't giving my precious child their undivided attention, and I pray for patience with the children who will not be nice to mine....oh my! I have too much to work on! I will go to bed and try not to think of other things to worry about. Good Nite!
