Well, BOTH of my boys went to their first day of school today. Unbelievable... I really struggled with leaving my baby boy today when I walked out of his preschool classroom. How did this happen? I JUST gave birth to him, didn't I? It is soooooo hard to watch my babies growing up. It is heartbreaking to be alone in the quiet house during the day.... I have lost myself a bit in this parenting process... BUT, my baby had a great first day - he didn't even cry!!! That screams adjusted and confident, right? I, however, was a disastrous mess. I cried/sobbed and paced in my empty house all morning until I got to pick him back up and heard his happy "Hi Mommy!" when he greeted me with his contagious, beautiful smile. :) Being a Mommy is a very difficult and emotional job, but it is also a very rewarding and inspiring job. I love my boys so much.... they are becoming these amazing little people, and I guess my hubby and I have a little something to do with that. That makes me (us) very proud. :)
