Well my baby is going to go to Kindergarten in just a short while, I had a complete meltdown about it last night. I woke up Matt (accidentally) crying about how she's so little and what if kids are mean to her and what if she needs help with school lunch or finding the bathroom or finding her classroom or doing her school work or making friends ect.... I was worried about maybe I didn't give her enough leway on picking out her school shoes, did she really get the ones she wanted.....Anyway I'm a big cry baby, Matt said she's growing up and everything will be fine and we need to give her some independence. This all sounds very logical..... I know I'm not the only one concerned about school, Aurora asked me this morning if she could just do school work at school that she didn't want to have homework because "I don't want to do school in the dark" I tried to explain that the sun will still be up when she's working on homework and that there will be plently enough time to play after. She's also concerned about missing her favorite PBS shows like Super Why. I told her she'll be so busy doing fun and cool stuff at school she really won't care she's missing her shows.Well the point is we are entering a new phase here in the Spencer Household, and frankly were all just a little nervous but we know it will be great!
I happen to think Aurora is quite independent and know she will thrive in kindergarten. You've done a good job so far. It is a whole new chapter in a family's life when the first kid goes to school. I feel the same way. Sometimes I want another five years with Britta and sometimes I'm saying a cheer for the school year to start.
