I walked home from the bus stop today alone.
There were no chubby fingers to hold my hand.
No sparkling eyes staring up at me.
No chit chat in my ears.
It was Quiet.
The silence was deafening.
My heart was heavy,
and I started to get that panicky feeling, like when I’ve left something behind.
Like I was missing something.
But what I was missing,
Was You.
Have a great first year in school Little Buddy! The world is waiting for you….
I am in tears!
I’m in tears too. I know that panic, that hits you and takes your breath away, I remember it the first morning I came back from the bus stop alone. Good luck, Mommy!
it’s the same when you look in the rear view mirror and see an empty car seat right? lol I used to do that a lot after dropping my oldest off at daycare!
Happy first day of school. that’s emotional
WAH! I have 4 kids in school this year, and 5 next year.
Oh dear, I’m teary and I still have about 350 days until dd4 starts school …
Awww, I have tears in my eyes. My little one is few years away from kindergarten…..
I’m also teary!
If you think this is bad, wait ’til he leaves for university!
oh man, I can’t even think about that!
Oh sweetie! The house must feel so big and empty 🙁 Big hugs!
Awe, I dread that day with my little one. Try to get some me-time for yourself to cheer yourself up.
I’m looking forward to sneaking in a little me-time!
I am about to cry……..I know that feeling ….. My Son just started first grade, my Daughter is going to her first day of Preschool tomorrow and my youngest is already 7 months …. Time flies by so fast and yet, we all wish we could hold on to it forever ….. Your Son is beyond adorable by the way *Hugs*
Thanks Kristen, I think about how overwhelming it was to have all three here in the house, but it all ends so quickly and then they are gone!
Hugs to you! Even though I’m a work out of the home mom, it made me teary to see my 3 year old start full day JK. My baby is growing up.
yup, they grow up so fast! it’s hard to accept that he is going off in the world without me now
Awwww, this brought a tear to my eye. What a bittersweet moment. 🙂 Great pic m’dere!
Oh, this is beautiful! I am in tears like the others. Every new milestone is a touch bittersweet when it’s your baby.
it’s true, I just started painting the nursery for our oldest to have a big boy room. I got teary and had a hard time getting that first stroke of paint on the wall. in hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have started this the same week my baby started school! it was all too much!
What an exciting time. This will be me next year. Drowning in a puddle of tears (x 2).
Besos, Sarah
