Today was the big day that class assignments were announced. At 4pm we were among the crowd anxious to see the lists posted to the front doors of the school. Mr. B wasn't really interested in who his teacher would be and took off to play as soon as we arrived. However, I was very curious to see who his peers would be and was pleased that our neighbor boy will be in his class this year.
I called Mr. B and Beeb over to show them the list and my worst nightmare happened. . . I started to choke up. Beeb asked to see her name and I held her up so she could see her name on the kindergarten assessment list (she starts a week after Mr. B) and I could barely talk. My voice was thick and cracking as I held back the tears.
I hear so many moms say how much they look forward to having all their kids in school, and while to some degree I do look forward to having some more "me" time, I am overwhelmed by how quickly my kiddo's are growing up. I knew this would be hard for me since my minor breakdown this past spring when I registered Beeb for kindergarten. I did not expect it to be so hard today as I fought back the tears, just hoping to make it to the safety of my car before I totally lost it.
I know this time is going by so quickly to me (even when it has been really really hard) - I just don't want to miss any precious moments with my kiddo's; not a single nanosecond.

Oh, I now totally get it. Last Sunday was Lia's first time in nursery and I almost started crying when I peaked through the window during the second hour and saw her sitting on a chair eating a snack at the little table. She looked so grown up!
What a sweet mom.
