Kindergarten...

Well, I just happened to remember the blog due to some recent unfortunate events that have caused me to read other people's blogs...anyway, the importance of creating a traceable history, especially for Nicolas, has a newfound importance to me. So, seriously, I'm going to try to blog atleast once a month, which could possibly turn into more, as I do typically get addicted to stuff like this once I learn what I'm doing:-)
I read my last posting and find it quite humorous that nearly a year ago, I already knew what I would be feeling like this week. That's right. This is the week. In two very short days, Nicolas starts kindergarten.
I'm excited for him, because he is OH SO excited, so I can't help but enjoy it a bit. But, I'm sick with the realization that he is growing up. In fact, he doesn't seem the least bit concerned about going to school and will probably be embarrassed to kiss me goodbye as he runs from the car when I drop him off. I could cry just typing about it.
I say out loud that I worry about taking him to this place where he can so easily be lost (I mean, if he has to go to the bathroom, is someone going to follow him in there???) and overlooked. But, I think the true fear is just that...he doesn't so much need me anymore. I know, I know...he's only five. He needs me. He can't drive himself to his soccer games or cook his own meals...but if you have a child that has ventured out into the big new world of kindergarten, I suspect you know what I'm talking about here.
Well, enough about that. I've gotten myself all worked up again...all I can do at this point is promise to blog again when this drama has subsided:-)
