Well I am sure that Being Blue will flood your inbox today, there is no telling how many posts there will be or if my ramblings will even make sense. LOL because today is the day Johnny starts Kindergarten. I am sitting here this morning waiting to hear the new Yoda alarm clock go off in Johnny's room filled with so many emotions. It really brings me back to the first day I went back to work and left my little 6 week old for the day. Filled with so many fears and what ifs; what if he is crying and can’t be consoled, what if he gets hurt, what if he can’t sleep or while he is sleeping he stops breathing- who is going to watch him sleep to make sure he is ok? I cried the entire way to work. That’s about where I am with all this right now.
You should see how big the halls are in elementary school, he is going to be walking down them without holding my hand. And lunch, who is going to make sure he eats all his food or tell him what he can and can’t have? And the big kids, what if they pick on him or tell him horrible truths that I have been protecting him from? The bus, the teacher, ok home school is looking like a good option. Just kidding, but not really I did research it last night. ha. But I keep reminding myself of when I picked up my baby after that first day of work. He was fine, and he will be today. Another milestone and another stage of life. Johnny has been waiting to get on that big yellow school bus since the first time he saw it, and this morning I have to let him go.
Ok enough about all that for now; here are John and my kindergarten pictures! Have a good morning
Katie, I can't even tell you how weepy your kindergarten posts and photos have made me... I bet I've cried at least 5 times over the past 2 days just from being able to feel your mixed emotions! Love you, and love that Johnny Blue! P.S. I never realized how much you look like your mom, but HOLY COW that (adorable) kindergarten picture makes it undeniable.
ReplyDeleteLOL well I am glad to be in good company. It really has been so emotional there is no denying now he is growing up. Everyone always tells you how fast it happens but you dont realize it until you wake up and are putting them on a school bus!
