I have been an emotional wreck this week. I knew it was happening, but just didn’t want to face the reality!! My girls are growing up!! Madelyn is going to kindergarten this year and riding the bus to school. I think the bus is what is freaking me out. It is something that I have no control over. (I’m tearing up as I type about it…I’m being so silly!) I’m trying hard to be happy…because she sure it, but I am going to MISS her!!
The odd thing is she is only going for two and half hours (half day) and for the past three years she has gone to pre-school for four hours.  I realize it is all a control thing. I want to be the one to drop her off! I want to make sure she is safely in her classroom or with her teacher. I want to be the last face she sees before she walks into the building.
If I’m feeling this emotional over a half day of kindergarten I can’t IMAGINE her going to college and actually moving out!!! I’m not normally like this…I’ve got to get a grip, right??
As Claire (my 3 yr. old) pointed out, “But, after kindergarten she is going to be here.” It’s just a hurdle, I get it. BUT, it doesn’t mean I like it. Who knew letting go would be SO hard.
The big day is a week away. I’ll let you know how it goes. 🙁

Why do they grow up???
We just moved our almost 2 yr old into a big girl bed and I am upset enough about losing the baby room I can’t even imagine when they move out 🙁
Sweet pictures of your girls 🙂

Angela, I completely understand how you feel! It’s so emotional when our little ones hit these big milestones. Just the thought of my baby going to school makes me anxious too. I recently searched for reliable resources to help manage my feelings, and I came on http://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mysupergeek-review-essay-service-scanner-2qaee/ that might be helpful for others as well.
The idea of Madelyn riding the bus and stepping into a new environment without your watchful eye is tough. Even though she’s only gone for a half day, it’s still a big change. I totally get the need for control and wanting to ensure she’s safe. And yes, the thought of college is even more overwhelming!
Your Claire is right though, it’s just a hurdle. We’ll get through it, and they’ll come home with stories and experiences that will make us proud. Hang in there! You’re not being silly at all—just a loving mom. Let us know how the big day goes.
