i sent both my little boys on a school bus today. both of them. i'm struggling not to cry and almost losing. its so sad but exciting. i love that they are growing up so fast and i hate it. it hurts! isnt that silly? who would have thought that you'd hurt watching your children grow up into little young men...its just so foreign. the feelings i feel sometimes with my boys. im so happy i had them. wouldn't change it for the world. i love being a mommy. even if they drive me crazy...some of the time.
oh brenden looked so cute. he had this huge backpack that just engulfed him. he had a lunch box.
you could tell he was thinking things over on the walk to the bus stop. trenton just chattered away. he's used to this, haha. he put his lunch box in his backpack. trenton's backpack is also about 4 sizes bigger than he is but its the one he wanted. it has so many compartments its ridiculous. ha! but he was so excited about starting grade 3. they both were excited about riding a bus. and super excited that they were riding a bus TOGETHER. the bus came and brenden scrambled to get there fast, urging trent.." come on!!! hurry!!" as he ran up the bus stairs. then he stopped when he actually got on and looked around kind of timidly like "uh..wait a minute" then the bus pulled away and everyone waves. i walk back home alone holding two mickey mice (we took their mice with us to see them off and i'll take them with me to greet them as they get off the bus after school in a few hours) and listened to my ipod. i wasnt really listening though, i was deep in thought.
its lonely without brenden. preschool is so different from kindergarten. i know he will do well.
hell, i'm the one having trouble. he seems just fine!!
do all mommies feel THIS way when the baby of the family goes to K?
