I've got it. It's 3 days away, and I have a heavy heart at the thought of it! Noah has never been too far away from me, and if he has it's been just for a short time. We were blessed that for the last 2 years, his preschool teacher has been one of my closest friends, so I never worried about him for those three hours. Wednesday marks a whole different story!
This morning I opened up my devotional and it was meant exactly for me, on this day, and on Wednesday when I drop him off. It's titled "Entrust your loved ones to me." It went on to say "They are much safer with Me than in your clinging hands.... My Presence will go with them wherever they go, and I will give them rest...just as I will give you rest."
This week is going to be tough on me, I can't believe my baby is going into kindergarten. I am so proud of the little man he is and I know he is going to do great.
Today was the big day. Matt stayed home from work this morning to help take Noah to his first day at school. After our morning routine, we loaded up the van and headed to Marion Elementary. Noah walked right in and did fine. I felt the tears in my eyes but didn't let them fall. When I picked up I found out that he had a pretty good day. Some perks: chocolate milk at lunch, music class, a girl named Lindsey, recess on the playground, and his teacher is really pretty and nice. He also got to keep his green card all day (behavior chart). Some downsides: rest time, and sadly - he told me he cried this afternoon because when I dropped him off I said I would see him in a little while. He took it literally and got upset when he realized it had been "a little while." He's looking forward to going back all ready and I'm so proud of my big boy. I'm going to miss having him around all day!
