Kidergarten Blues

Last week I got to experience sending my son off to Kindergarten. You would think this would be an easy task since I dropped him off at day care Monday through Friday. The night before he ask me "Mom what if no body likes me?", I looked at him and assured him every one would love him and he would make so many new friends. He seemed okay until it came time to say good bye until the afternoon. Sure enough his little eyes filled with tears and I just hugged him pointed him in the direction of his class and hid in the corner behind another mom. I feel like a coward for being behind that other mom but I knew that if I didn't cut it short right then it would be harder later. Tears filled my eyes and started down my cheek. When the mom in front of me looked back and put her arms around me and said this must be your first and she said it would get better by the end of the week and assured me that I would be okay. It was so nice of her to do that and I wanted to say thank you to her but I haven't seen her since the first day. Her words meant to much to me at that moment. She was right to by the end of the week both of us were just fine. But wow does taking them to Kindergaten on the first day tug on your heart.
