First Day at Pre-School

The Little Man started pre-school last week, wow that was a very interesting experience for all involved.

I left little miss with Nana & Pop so that I could concentrate on the little man and his big day. I don’t know though I think that it was a bigger day for me than for him.

He was so excited to go, he was saying in the car on the way there, “I am excited about going to school today”, I was excited for him, and I thought that I was ok with it all. UNTIL it was time to say goodbye, he just waved with this big smile on his face “bye, bye Mummy, see you later”, wow it hit me I had to remove myself from the class room really fast before he could see my face and the tears welling up in my eyes.

I got in the car and just burst into tears, I couldn’t believe it, why was I crying, he was suppose to be crying not me!.  I drove all the way home in tears, can you believe that. I called my husband and said ” my little baby is becoming a big boy” that was when it hit me as to why I was crying.

My little man was growing up so fast, and I wasn’t ready for it. He is becoming a really little boy now, I realised this was the beginning of the end, he has started school, the time will now go so fast before I know it he will be a little man and won’t want anything to do with his Mum anymore, I know a few more years till then, but the last 3 1/2 years have gone so fast what are the next years going to do.

He loved his first day at pre-school, he did all the things that he has been wanting to do, painting, pasting, reading, playing with others, and generally having fun. He was looking forward to going again today, he seemed a little more reserved today as it is not new anymore, but he went with out any issues.

I was just looking at him when he went off to play with the other children, and he really is growing so fast, I love him so much I will miss him. I know it is only 2 days a week and I should enjoy the break, and I still have little miss to keep me on my toes.
