I have dreaded this day for a long time. I'm a working Mama so it's not like being away from my girl is a new thing. You would think that I would be a little more ready for this day...after all it does mean that our childcare bill just got cut in half. However...I am nowhere near ready. Pre school was like extended family for us. There were only 20 kids in Brynn's class and less than 40 in her entire school and one of those was her brother. That meant that we were able to get to know every single kid and their parents. The kids at Pre-K are mostly teacher's kids and are pretty much the cream of the crop (ie: parents who really care about things like education and discipline).
Kindergarten is a whole new ball game. This is a giant leap towards Brynn's independence (ie: a step away from being Mama and Daddy's baby). We aren't going to know everyone at this school. We aren't going to get daily reports on how our little precious did that day or about all the funny things that she said. The teacher isn't going to text me with a cute picture of my girl in the middle of the day. Waaaaaaaahhhh!
Brynn was so ready for this moment. She proudly modeled her school uniform, new backpack and new lunchbox. She walked into her classroom like a big girl and proudly found her seat at her table and began unpacking her school supplies. She is excited...she is ready.
I am proud. I am so happy for her but I am NOT ready. She is off on the next big adventure and I'm waving from the door and desperately want to run back for one more kiss and hug.
Not a single tear from my girl. I can't say the same for her Mama.
