This Year Preschool Next Year College

So Boog is hopefully starting preschool at the end of August. I say hopefully because there is a waiting list and we’ll have to see how things go. I’m ready for him to start school and I think that he will do well. He already seems to be ahead of some of the other kids his age. Not to brag or anything and I know that every parent thinks that their child is a genius but I don’t care. I’ll admit it.  I think that my child is the smartest, cutest, and best kid ever!  *Kanye shrug*

This is going to be a a major step. I know that he’s ready but are we?  Are we ready to send him off into the world to fend for himself?  Well sort of. I mean I’m only talking pre-k here. Its not like he’s graduating from high school and going to college somewhere halfway across the world or something. I’m probably going to worry myself to death over this but hey I’m a new, first time parent. I’m entitled to freak out over the little things as well as the big ones. I’ll probably be just as nervous, and probably more, than he will be on that first day. That sleepless night before I’ll be up making sure that everything is in place so that things will run smoothly.

One of my major concerns is that since he is ahead of some of his peers that he may get into trouble. He’s not a mischievous child but when he’s done with his work he may try to find other ways to occupy his time and some teachers don’t recognize that as him needing more work or challenges but as him disturbing the other kids.  One thing that he is that I’m not or wasn’t at his age is social. He is such the social butterfly just floating from Person to person and conversation to conversation. I still need to work on that but he seems to have it down to a science.

Children grow up so fast. It seems like yesterday I was holding Him in my arms at the hospital and now he’s about to be in school. Before you know it he’ll be applying for colleges. it’s true that time moves at its own pace and waits for no one.

That is all
Sincere
