I can't believe the day has finally come. So much planning, so much anticipation....and we survived. Well, at least so far : ) We found out late last week that Soph will be in a 1st grade/Kindergarten split class. Needless to say, I was shocked and a bit horrified that my little barely 5 year old was not only being forced into full day K (district mandated) but she would be with 6 and possibly 7 year olds. Since then I've had a good chat with the principal and some correspondence with the teacher and can honestly say I'm feeling much better about it and am trying to be more open to the idea. The truth is, she's in the smallest class with the best teacher so I am choosing to be optimistic unless something proves me otherwise.
If it weren't for her incredible excitement, today might have been more difficult but the truth is that she is thrilled and couldn't wait to get in the door. It's the first step in letting go and as challenging as that is, someone wise once told me that if you raise your children well, then they will successfully leave you. Sniff, sniff....
