It's been a busy week for us. We all had Labor Day off and we spent the day doing things together as a family. Tuesday was fairly quiet, but Wednesday was Brian's first day of pre-K.
I think it went well. He didn't cry, didn't cling, didn't fuss. In fact, he acted like he's been going to preschool or daycare his whole life (he's never gone). His teacher had to make him come back out and say good-bye to me. Watching him walk into his classroom and begin this whole new phase of his life was bittersweet for me. On the one hand, I am so proud of him and how confident and open and friendly he is. And on the other I wish that he weren't growing up quite so fast. I've tried to raise him to be self-sufficient in a lot of ways, and he is. And really that's a good thing. But sometimes, just sometimes, I just wish he needed me a little more than he does.
His second day of school was today and went just as well as his first day. And it was a little easier on me. He wanted to stay longer when it was time to leave, but I am glad he is enjoying it so much. He is growing up so fast and while part of me wishes he could stay a little boy forever, most of me is just excited to see who he's growing up to be!
