School-Aged Children

First day of Kindergarten :(

I thought for sure I would be the only one crying.  As soon as I saw my son tear up I lost it.  I can't tell you how awful it felt that he was crying while leaving on the bus :(  Then my 2 yr old started crying "I want my Myles" as the bus left.  IT's been an emotional morning

  • It will get easier every day! 

    My son's first day of kindergarten is next Monday.  I think there's a 50/50 chance that he'll cry and a 100% chance that I will -- hopefully not until after the bus has pulled away!

    My son is my youngest.  My older daughter was totally thrilled to go to school and got on the bus with a grin, and it was STILL an emotional time for me!! 

    Hang in there, mommy!  He'll most likely be brimming with pride when he gets off the bus in the afternoon!

  • Thank you!  I was very unprepared for him to cry, he's my fearless child lol!  I am hoping he comes home excited about the first day

  • He was probably very nervous.  Just give him extra hugs when he gets home.

  • Hi ladies, I sent my oldest son to kindergarted 13 years ago and I STILL tear up if I dwell on it and picture him and those uber adorable itty bitty chairs....

    Today, I sent him off to his first day of college....and laughed and laughed... I am kidding, I didn't laugh and I only teared up a tiny bit!
