I love spending time with his class (parent help), mingling before and after school and seeing him play with friends that he made all by himself. PLaydates with friends that he chose, not that I chose for him. I love and am constantly astounded by the stuff he knows...general knowledge stuff that he is teaching me. I love his excited stories about what happened at school, what so-and-so did on the their weekend, what the teacher said.<br />And I love the time spent with my littlest one. She had never had 'just mummy and me' time before and now we get to go out just the 2 of us which always feels like a bit of a date, hang at home and THERE'S NO FIGHTING!!, we just get to be together. And she has thrived from it.<br />So what I'm saying is...good for big one, good for little one, good for mummy-the-referee, good for mummy-the-proud (other people get to see how wonderfully adorable your boy is!! And the teachers DO see the quiet shy ones...they welcome their company much of the time amongst all the crazy noisy 4-5year olds!!) and well, still scary a bit but mostly good. <br />Good luck and I hope he loves it and you survive!roshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429097080559952917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592051382522387010.post-26009433598665116412011-08-30T18:17:52.922-07:002011-08-30T18:17:52.922-07:00You can let go of the hand, but never the heart.

I had to read it again to Tyler last night. He just started 4th grade and I remember these feelings. Uh...they get easier...a bit:)Kelli Pirronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592051382522387010.post-49730330607662188382011-08-30T16:43:58.804-07:002011-08-30T16:43:58.804-07:00Scary, yes.

It's great in a whole other way! How exciting...preschool they make friends and bring home songs they learned :) and you still have many years of them at home.<br /><br />Jessica, CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5592051382522387010.post-83763133109305210642011-08-30T04:31:36.506-07:002011-08-30T04:31:36.506-07:00with the grace of god..that life was never yours y...with the grace of god..that life was never yours you were there to guide and protect it..jay and you have done a great job and given him the tools now you can sit back and watch him flower into the great kid i know he will be love you momAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
