OT:First day of kindergarten

Allison starts kindergarten next Thursday. We went to her open house while ago and met her teacher. She's really excited and happy about going. I'm glad that she's looking forward to it. The momma in me just wants to know how do I get thru putting her on the bus that first morning without losing it? Cause I bawl just thinking about it. I don't want to be crying that morning and I AM NOT going to cry in front of her. I just worry over the sillest stuff. Will she be happy? Will she be safe on the bus going and coming? Will the other kids pick at her? Will she know how to go get her lunch and will she eat and not be hungry? See I'm a paranoid mom. I can't help it. That first morning is already  breaking my heart and its a week away. I guess I just need to know I'm not alone. Any other of u moms go thru this?

Sounds like me! I took that day off work, and took him to school. Used to it was only half a day but the year before mine started they changed kindergarten to a full day. We lived close to the school so we walked, and after I got him there and settled I left the school and bawled like a baby all the way home. I was at the school that day at 2:00 waiting to pick him up! LOL. Nothing like being a hour early! Mine will be a sophmore in high school this year (OMG I can't believe my baby is in high school!) but every year I think back to that first day and I still get teary eyed!

Thats me, I'm teary eyed just thinking about it. I'll be fine till she leaves cause I don't want to cry in front of her but when that bus is out of sight, I know I'll lose it.  pre k is half a day here. She couldn't go to that last yr cause we're not low income and unless the kids r low income or somethings wrong they won't let them in pre k. I thought it would have been good for her and she wanted to go but they said no.

pre K is sweet it dnt get any easier either my son is in the 10 this year & I still get worried lol yes it is a big MOM thing

Someone said it never gets easier lol.

Oh lord yes I went thorugh it majorly.  Esp since my daughter started pre programs when she was not even quite 3 yet.  I am a very protective, worrisome Mommy too.  She is a special needs child so I wanted her to have extra help, educational and therapies etc.  Leavin her even for a half a day was horrible. Didnt get easier for me until she hit Kindegarten a couple years later and even still wasnt that easy.  Now she is going into 5th grade.  Would have been 6th but I stepped on that a couple years back. Anyway... OHHHH but trust me! It finally does get easier and you will curse the breaks, esp summer break and rejoice when school starts back each year. lmao

3, oh my goodness! I know that was hard on u. My little cousin started some sort of preschool when he was 3. I bawled the first morning he got on the bus too. He'll be 15 in October. They grow up so fast! I just can't believe my baby's starting school. She never stops talking so she'll probably be in trouble quite a bit!

hmmmm I wonder if that never stops talkin is a lil girl thing.  My girl is like that too. lol

lol could be. She certainly talks all the time. While we were at the open house Adam looked over at me and said "Our lil jabbering baby is growing up and going to school next week" I told him not to even start.

we go for kindergarten screening on August 7th.  i can not believe my little one starts kindergarten on August 20th.  i went out and get her new things for school like her backpack and stuff.  i cried on the way home from shopping knowing she will be starting school so soon.  i took the day off work  to take her to school.  she was mad at me because she wants to ride bus lol.  she is so excited to go but i am not because it just means she is getting older and even more independent.
