On Thursday, Alex will begin kindergarten full time. Last Friday, Alex had his phase in day and it went much better than we thought that it would. He is super excited to start and does not want to go to daycare anymore. Tomorrow will be his last day in daycare. This will end something that he has done most of his life. When he was born I was not able to stay at home, so he began daycare at 8 weeks old. Here we are five years later and tomorrow will end this chapter in his life. As a former teacher I am super excited for him to begin this new chapter. As a mom, this is definitely a bittersweet end to a chapter. I am so excited for the new adventures that wait him, the new experiences that he will have, all the new things that he will learn, and all the new friends he will make. I am also sad though. My baby boy that was born on the stormy and hot July evening will start kindergarten. He will need me in new ways now. I love watching him become more and more independent but love when he cuddles up in bed with me in the mornings. He will always and forever be my little boy.
Tonight I sit here looking through Pinterest for cool and awesome lunch ideas to pack him. I want to make sure that he gets healthy food that is also fun for him to eat. Luckily, Alex is not a picky eater and that makes things so much easier. In the coming days, I will hope to post about some of the winners that we have made for his lunch and maybe even some of the misses. Feel free to leave me any great ideas!
Here we begin the journey into the world of kindergarten.
