Today, January 11, 2017 marks a HUGE day for the Nelson family. My favorite boy in the whole world left the only world he has ever known to begin his school career and his first day of Pre-K. I still can't believe that my oldest is starting Kindergarten this fall. Man, time flies! I certainly have mixed feelings about this whole process. After some discussion over Christmas break, the Hubs and I decided to get Luke in a 2-day-a-week preschool to get him ready for Kindergarten.
My baby boy. The kid who made me a mom. My sweet son is stepping out of the house and into the world. We have been a blessed family in terms of work schedules. For most of Luke's life, I taught college classes with a very flexible schedule. I am lucky that now I get every Friday off. The Hubs has maintained a flexible schedule with photography so he has been the one at home most of the time. Luke has spent almost every single day with either his mom, dad, or both of us!
This is a big adjustment. A necessary change. I am excited because I know that this is the start of something great. More friendships, activities, learning, experiences good and bad. He is becoming a KID. I'm sad because he is scared. This is brand new territory for him and he is sad to leave us. We have been talking about how amazing Preschool will be every chance we get, but he is still scared. It tortures me, the thought that I am going to leave him at a new place and he will be sad, probably cry. I know he will get over it quickly, but my heart aches that it upsets him so.
And poor little Chloe. She hasn't known a time she didn't have her big brother around every second of the day. It will be an adjustment for her too.
Cheers to a new phase and the start of a brand new adventure!
