Too Soon
Last Friday before we left on our trip, I began the process for registering Ryan in preschool. More specifically the Head Start Program through the state since (hopefully) we would qualify and he could prepare for school without me having to fork over extra cash.
The school called on Friday after we had left. I was informed by one person that he was too old for the program and therefore did not qualify. The other person wanted to verify his date of birth with me. I called them both back first thing Monday morning and was not called back. So I called the Elementary school to get the cut off date for Kindergarten. He is well within it. Scary to think for my October baby. And she confirmed that yes indeed he was too old for the Head Start Program. I was instructed to get him enrolled tomorrow. (Tuesday)
I am pretty sure he is ready. He has been talking about it all day. I even read a library book to him called "Kindergarten Rocks." He seemed so small cuddled next to me.
It's really ME I am most worried about.

I think seeing his excitement for school shoul make you happy and strong enough to get through this. I can imagine what it must be like for your "baby" to grow so fast. Like I said I'm dreading that day!
How old is he though? Here in Chicago I think for headstart you can be 3 or 4.
You'll be okay. Really.
My daughter's first day of preschool was in MY class and it was still difficult, even though I was with her all day - it was all I could to hold back tears!
