When Samantha was a little, tiny baby, we were told to enjoy every moment because they grow up so fast. It does feel like we just brought her home from the hospital and instead we are starting 1st grade next week. She is so excited to return to school, as I am sure most children are, to see her friends, find out who her new teacher will be and who will be in her class. It is amazing to me how most children embrace the change and yet some of us parents have such a hard time with it.
It is very funny to see the different emotions in the hallways; crying, laughter, nervous, quiet smiles, 'high fiving', etc., and that's the parents that I am talking about! I will be on the crying side- as I always am- and Kevin will be telling me that I have to leave the parking lot..... Yep! I am 'that' mom!
Good luck to all the parents out there who's children have started school and will be starting soon! If you cry, know that you will be in good company- I will be right there with you! And if you are the happy, 'high fiving' type- thank you, you guys take the edge off and make what seems so scary to some parents a little bit lighter.
Enjoy your babies, hug them tight! They don't stay little for long (although I wish they would)! Thank you to all of my friends who have held me up after dropping Samantha off at all of her first days of school, preschool and yes even mother's day out (I think I cried for 2 weeks all the while Samantha was having a blast). Enjoy your year and I hope that all of the children make the best grades that they can!
