Normally, when I drop Mikey off at school, his class lines up on his line in front of the school. Today however, was different. We woke up at 7 a.m. and it was pouring out!!
( not to mention freezing) I was hoping that the rain would stop, but of course, it didn't. 8 a.m. rolled around and Mikey and I piled into the van and headed to his school. Since I'm not allowed to kiss him(unless he's in the van) I pulled up to the curb and he gave me the quickest kiss EVER and jumped out. There were no kids out front( duh its raining) and I could see through the front doors a teachers assistant. I told him to go in and she would tell him where to go. He said OK(like"no big deal") and closed the door. I waited till he got through the big doors and saw him talking to the teacher before I drove away.

Well, Ive never just dropped him off and left like that....just hoping that someone was there to watch him and help him know what to do. It was obviously harder on me and I don't think it was a slight bit hard on Mikey.(which is good. he takes new situations in and "just does" them, like his daddy)
I wondered all day what happened and how it went...kinda dumb to be preoccupied with something that small, all day!!! We went to get him at 3:30 and I asked him if it went alright after I dropped him off. He said the lady helped him and had him line up against the wall by his classroom and read till school started. How great is that?!?! So, now next time it rains, I wont have a pit in my stomach all day wondering if my baby is being taken care of and looked out for like I do for him. I know he is!

oh man, that's crazy! I'm still insane about standing next to him until he goes in the door... I totally admire how you're able to let him be independent, cause I know I'm driving my kid crazy! lol!
Brings back memories.Oh yeah I did the same thing when mine were little. Worry is now my middle name!!! I bet alot of moms feel just like you did. Letting go even a little is the hardest thing we do. Just proves what great job your doing cause he was just fine.
