Today has been a hard day for me. My sweet Lane starts Pre-Kindergarten this year, he's ready and excited but Momma's not. Tonight we went to "open house" at school. Lane had a great time checking out his classroom and playing with some of the kids in his class. Of course I had him take a picture in front of his very first locker.
Here he's sitting in his spot for circle time.
This is the reading area. I think this will be a favorite area of Lanes.
The common area outside of the Pre-K classrooms has a fun play scape. Marlee might be a little jealous of all the cool things Lane is going to get to play with. I'm thinking she is going to miss him like crazy. We'll probably both be crying tomorrow wishing Lane was home with us.
Lane is sooo excited to start school. We went to have a one on one session with his teacher last week and you can see how excited he was. We've been talking about school for quite a while now, but today every time we talked about it I just couldn't hold back the tears. At one point he said "don't cry Mommy, I'll come home when school is over". He has such a sweet heart and I don't worry for one bit that he'll do great. I just want him to be happy and I hate to think that he's going to run into things we haven't prepared him for. I know that's a part of life, I just have a hard time dealing with it when it comes to my baby.
If you think about us tomorrow please say a prayer for us! His school is a full day, he's to be there from 8:50-3:35. Today I watched the clock and it's a long time! I'll be sure to report back how the day goes.

Good luck Lane! How exciting for you both. It's a hard adjustment, more on mom and dad but Lane will thrive and love every moment at school
ReplyDeleteSteph,
ReplyDeleteThat totally stinks he will be gone during the day. He is growing too fast - they all are. He is so darling. I hope you are feeling good!
