We literally had to build a home in the front yard of our school in order for me to be okay with letting my boys go. They are so much cooler about the letting go thing than I am, which I guess is okay. :) A backwards glance every now and then would be nice, though!<br />Praying for a beautiful school year for you and your family and congratulations on your new move!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11093178608034450446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-84805237749071565682013-08-26T12:46:06.441-07:002013-08-26T12:46:06.441-07:00Why is school so hard!?!

I love your last line though, "I can do this - I can let him go. I will let him go - and he will be himself, just as he should be."<br /><br />You are such a good mama.

And then last week I dropped my oldest off at the high school and my youngest at the middle school and cried the entire way home!!<br />They made it through and both seem to enjoy their new schools!!!<br />My oldest seems to be like yours - he is very quiet and I now that he was beyond nervous. Every day has gotten easier (for me) - I don't think he talks much at school but he seems happy.<br />I hope that your son is bursting with fun/happy stories about his first day!!!!Kimhttp://day-with-kt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039084287472642442.post-84978614402179293832013-08-21T13:39:00.089-07:002013-08-21T13:39:00.089-07:00Absolutely could not get through this without tear...Absolutely could not get through this without tears! Nervous FOR you and praying for Ben! Man oh man, I often look at my George and admire the God-given strength he has to be the first. Your Ben is worth looking up to - his brothers have a very fine example in his strength and confidence! Eager to hear how his first year of school (outside the home) goes. One day, I'll need your prayers to do the same.

My kids have always gone to school, but I worried like crazy the day my oldest started high school. I understand completely.<br />As each of my kids heads of to school, it's the ones left at home who have the hardest time with it. Each morning, my youngest, now the only one left at home, asks, "Where are the kids?" Sometimes even before he asks, "Can I eat breakfast?" :)<br />Next up, PTO!
