We went last night to see Elijah's school for next year. The boy was less than thrilled. He said he only wants Ms. Sullivan to be his teacher (his current Pre-K teacher.) I totally get it kid. I am not a huge fan of change, but alas, we must all go through it. After seeing the classrooms and the school and seeing what he was going to learn next year, I think that he started to feel a bit better about the whole thing. I have already signed up to be a room mom, a volunteer with the school, and to help with the Fall Festival next year. I plan on being as involved as possible. I want our children to succeed in whatever they do, and I plan on helping out in any way possible to make sure this happens.
The teachers all seemed kind and ready to help. They seemed excited about the new year as well. The principal was there and ready to answer questions and greet parents. And while there was not a huge turn out, there was enough to get an idea of what his class will be like.
I'm sad that my little guy is growing up so dang quick. He has recently started the "I don't like you" when he's mad at us. I tell him that it's fine to not like me, but to know that I will always love him.... which is hard to remember and to say when you feel like you want to wring his little neck Simpsons style. Sigh. But it's true. No matter how mad they make me, I will always love them. Always. And watching him go to kindergarten will probably have me in a fit of tears for at least a week, but then I think of all the cool things he'll learn and I'm so excited for him.
So here's to a fun summer! To back to school shopping, and the getting ready. I'm buckling in for this roller coaster and stocking up on kleenex!
