The times are a changin'

Our little boy will go to his new "big school" tomorrow.  He will be there all day, 8am until 2:45pm.  I guess it's not that different from a Tuesday at Mother's Day Out.  They are doing kindergarten testing.  He is super excited and he is ready.  He will go again on Thursday for a kindergarten phase-in day, I guess it's like a "practice" day.  We'll survive the week, and then Monday, it's his first official REAL day of kindergarten.  We are working on our bedtime routine (we've always had one, we just stray from it during summertime) and he was in bed and quickly sleeping at 8 tonight.

I remember a few years ago at a MOPS meeting, one of the mentors addressed the issue of mommy anxiety on the first day of school.  She said that every time throughout the day you feel that worry/anxiety creep in, just to stop and pray.  Pray for my child.  Pray for his teacher.  I will be praying.  A lot.   
I pinned this on pinterest a year ago. Who knew this day would come so quickly.
Sleeping sweetly tonight.
