My son has been in Early Intervention and here at age 3 they transition into a preschool program on a local school campus. Full day, M-F. On the bus.

We did get to visit the class and my son got to play with the kids while my husband and I asked our questions and met the teacher and aides. Oh my-when the final “verdict” came through I held my own in the meeting, then burst into tears on the way home.

And every time I thought about it. When you are the commander of your child’s medical care and day-to-day, that is a tough baton to pass.

It does get easier.

My son had terrible days when we did morning drop offs, but loved riding the bus home. So I let him ride the bus to/from school and (can you hear the tearing of my heart right now?) it took a few morning runs to get him to leave me with a smile, happily off to school and his friends and his beloved teachers.

I’m now sad because next month we are moving about a 1/2 hour away, and I really love his class.

Good luck.

This line really resonated for me: I fear I have wished too many of these moments away when I have been tired or overwhelmed or frustrated. And now I wish I could have some of them back so I could cherish them the way they deserved to be cherished. I applaud you for not letting a single moment slip away, uncherished. I will try to do the same. charrettes last blog post..Leaving Normal

So far I think it’s easier to wish away the moments the “first” time you go through them–when your oldest is going through a time that’s tough for you (or just annoying on that particular afternoon!). With the second, they seem to go by so fast that I don’t have time to wish them away (other than the daily fussy period, of course).

Thanks so much for participating, and good luck to you both on the first day!

I am finding myself wishing away some of my day with my Little Man – not sure if it is terrible two or just finding the new balance with little sister in the mix. Feel free to come over and take him if you are feeling like you are missing out on anything.

I will, in the mean time, work hard on not hating the person I am becoming to my son. Love to threaten to get him to do anything.

BTW – finished the rest of the food you brought the other day for lunch – it was sooo yummy!

I still have those feelings and Ty is my second one off to school. I asked him if he is excited and he said no, he much rather stay home and be with his sister. I asked if he would miss me and he said no, just Malia. Gotta love him.

awww, seeee, bookie???!? Yes, this is going to be hard for you. Hang in there. She will be fine. Remember, I am a December baby and I was a year ahead and look how I turned out! If you say that is not a good example, I will….
