Handy manny Back pack ready, mickey mouse lunch box with blue water bottle in tow, new uniform and new shoes , my 3 year old is all set to set his foot in a brand new school....
My child's first day at school will always be remembered by us. I was so nervous for him.
It was so nervy, butterflies-in-your-stomach kind of morning for us...I was so upset because he had grown up so fast. And he was so excited.
I put his clothes on and as I was putting his shoes on, he was talking about the things he is going to do in school,giggling and talking in his own language...
I knew the day was coming and he was going to school. Every child has to go eventually.
We finally got his first lunch packed and got his bag packed. then we were off to school.
It was the hardest to leave him with his teacher that first day.
The teacher keep reassuring me he was going to be okay not to worry.
But in my mind I felt she couldn't take care of his needs like I could.
I left him any way. He had no problem leaving me.
He ran right into his classroom and joined in building a tower with the other kids in the room.
I stayed back for a few minutes to peek in and see how he was doing. He was in his own world.
This was an exciting experience for him. You could see on his face how excited he was.
He was taking every thing in and the joy on his face was priceless.
I wouldn't have taken that moment from him for nothing.
I finally left feeling a little bit better but still sad because his need for me had lessened.
I went home and I just didn't know what to do with myself.
I was so used to an active 3 year old following me around so needless to say the 4 hours he was gone was like 10 hours.
When I finally went to get him my poor baby was crying and saying to his Miss that he wants to go home... I felt like my heart is melting... In the morning he was so ok but after few hours without momma and papa, he started missing us... When I waved at him he came running to me and gave me a big hug...Afetr all he is just 3 and how do I expect from him to stay away from me so long... But I have to do this, every mother has to....
His teacher said he was good and was playing around and he will do better as days will pass...
And I was sure of that... I thanked god for blessing me with such a wonderful child...
