I'm scared...

But, I am putting on a brave face. We went to meet the teacher tonight and our new school. Our teacher was very nice and personable, and as the kiddo said, pretty.

But, all of the work that was placed out on the desk seemed easy, really easy. Now most of my teacher friends, would say "Wendy, you know all teachers review these first few weeks." and I know that. Her Language Arts textbook was full of things she learned and mastered in kindergarten. While I know that we made the best choice keeping her where she was last year, now I am worried she is too far ahead for this year. We talked a while tonight about how things may seem easy for her at first, and how no matter what she needs to do her very best.

Bored kids lead to mischievous kids.

Oh, and another thing, I am going to miss her. Really, really miss her. I don't know if it is because it is just the two of us. But I am sad. I heard parents talking about celebrating that their kids are going back. Honestly, I would rather have her with me. Sad, is it not?

So here is to a lot of praying for easy transitions, and a good school year.

no, Wendy it is not sad. I would rather have my babies with me too!
I have cried every first day of school so far ( after my babies are in school, I have to have the brae face). I thought it would get easier.....but it hasn't.

Not sad, I cry too. I just read on another blog that there are "school year moms" and "summer moms". I am definitely a "summer mom"! That's part of the reason that sending Grace half time this year was appealing! Hang in there!
