It 's a great thing when you children grow up and go to school, you have time you never thought you'd have again- time to clean, do errands, relax, take a class or two. But, it's also very very bittersweet. This morning I dropped my daughter off at school (she's in kinder) and my heart kinda sank. Watching her get out of the car and walk right in like she knew the place sent a wave of emotions.
1- she was growing up. That's a fact that I just couldn't deny. I knew it, she was growing up and gaining some independence.
2- She was self assured! That's a great feeling! Knowing that I had raised her to the point that at 6 she could confidently walk into the school and take care of business.
3- She was no longer dependant on me. Anther bitter sweet realization. She was independent which is good! Something that our children should be, however, she wasn't NEEDING me.
Just something I had to throw out there. Next week we should see the little man in pre-school too. Another bittersweet emotion. My children are growing and wanting to explore the world outside of the comfort of mommies hugs and kisses, and do so on their own! But...they can do it knowing that when they need me, I will be waiting here for them with all the hugs and kisses stored up through the day!
