Growing Up
| Well, this is it. My youngest son starts kindergarden tomorrow. How did this happen? It was just yesterday that I was bringing him home from the hospital. I am feeling a mixture of emotions tonight. I am so excited for him and this new adventure, I know he is going to love it. I am also feeling sad, which surprises me. Being a homeschool mom, I don't get much time away from my kids. As a matter of fact, it has been 10 years since I haven't had kids home with me all day. My three boys are now going to a partnership school, where they go to class 3 days a week, and I homeschool them the other two. I thought I would be relishing in the fact that I am going to three whole days to myself. Think of all the things I can get done! But I am starting to realize that this is the closing of a chapter in my life. A chapter that I enjoyed more than I realized. We are moving into uncharted territory. We don't plan on having any more children, so this is the LAST time someone will be starting kindergarden. I am thinking back on all the stages we won't go through again. ( some of those we are thankful of!) I am also excited though. There are so many wonderful things to come. I am so looking forward to seeing my boys grow into young men. I am eager to have some more time with my husband, who will be home with me one of the days the boys are in school. I am also looking forward to seeing what God has in store for our family in the future. I know kids have to grow up...and I am thankful to be participating in their lives so fully. And besides, he can still be my baby even though he is starting school...right? |
