Well today I registered my boy for kindergarden. I'm so very nervous about the whole thing. Neither one of our sons has ever gone to daycare because we don't trust anyone else with him. My olderst (hes five and the one registered today) did go to a day program at the school that he's going to go to. And he's just as happy as pie to be going so I don't let him know how nervous i am and i try to act really excited to, because i also am excited for him, I know he'll love it. But what about taking the bus by himself? being away all day(it's full day kindergarden where we live)? Will he eat his lunch? What if he looses his lunch money? What if he gets off at the wrong stop? Will the teacher be there to meet him outside when he gets to school?!!!! Did anyone else worry about this? am i just being silly? I know he's ready but I just can't seem to help it..

Oh yeah, I hate those "letting go" moments. I felt the same way. It feels so strange to leave them somewhere that we're not. But you're right, your baby is ready and he'll be fine. And we, well we don't really let go now do we. My daughter is in college and we've done a complete circle. She now likes to rest her head on my shoulder and walk hand in hand when shopping in the malls. It's nice. I guess they don't let go completely either. It's a good thing.
