Well my oldest son heads off to kindergarten in just under a month and I am finding it increasingly difficult to accept this fact. Seriously, it seems like he was just born. As most of my friends work they just don't seem to get how hard this is.
Of course, he has been going to preschool several days a week for years and he loves it. He is excited to go to school, and I'm sure Llewelyn is as fantastic as they all say, but he'll be away from me on so many levels and I'll never get to do this—these last 5 years—over again.
So, in order to deal with this, and I'm clearly not, I am obsessing about schools. Should we have looked more at private schools? Charter schools? Cooperative educational endeavors? What about the French School? But I know I'm not fooling anyone, I'm just not ready.
But he is.
There's another Llewelyn kindergarten play date in a couple of weeks. I know that these are as much to ease the parents into this new role as to aid the kids, and I appreciate it.
Are you getting ready to send your child to school or do you have an interesting story? Let's hear it.
