Our Little School Boy (Almost!)

So, Andrew will start school this fall.  As a stay-at-home mom, I find myself near panic mode over the whole idea of sending him off to school.  I've never entrusted the care of my sweet boy to anyone else, and now I must leave him with someone I don't even know?  It's hard for me to be okay with all this.  But, I'm trying.

I have no doubt Andrew is ready for the academic side of kindergarten.  But I do have some concern that he might not be ready socially.  And I attribute that to his being a stay-at-home kid.  I definitely see advantages to daycare/preschool.  I kick myself for not enrolling him in something that would allow him to interact with other kids his age.

Kindergarten orientation is April 21 and registration is May 2.  I seriously cannot put into words how this makes me feel.  It crushes me.  I don't let Andrew see my heartache, though.  I want him to be excited about going to school.  And I want him to love school.

Now all I can do is pray that my little man will be ready for this new adventure, and pray his teacher is one that is a good fit for him.  And while I'm doing that, I'm going to enjoy every minute we have together!
