Today was M’s end-of-the-school-year picnic at preschool. I was a little weepy at the thought of my little girl leaving the school where she spent the last two years. M was unimpressed by the final goodbyes.
How can it be that M is going to be in kindergarten? Holy crap. What happened to my baby?
I have to admit, I am also shaking in my boots over the long upcoming summer with no scheduled daily activities. I hope I can survive with my sanity intact.
It’s a big transition. It means that she’s about to start Real School. I was weepy at that, too.
Swimming Lessons, gymnastics, art class…quick, go sign her up for something!
I can’t believe how fast Real School is coming down the chute at me, either.
I often see how ready the children are for new adventures while their moms wax nostalgic. It has been wonderful at her preschool. But with M’s personality and talents I am sure Kindergarten will be even better. And since you are not longer looking at moving, some of the friends she makes next year may be her friends for years to come. And you still have a little one at home to indulge or will she start preschool soon?
we had a very similar experience with the twins. Monday was their last day at preschool. The teachers were teary, we were teary, but they shared hugs with the other kids because we told them to. They just wanted to leave and go swimming. I guess the world looks different when you are four.
