Tomorrow is a Gonna Be a Big Day

It has been ages since I posted last and there is a ton to blog about. So much, in fact, I haven't had time to blog about it!  However, I could not let this moment pass without pausing to reflect.  Tomorrow is Emerson's first day of kindergarten.  Even though he went to preschool last year, in a public school setting, this seems different somehow... like we are embarking on the next phase of his life. So, as with all this moments, I am...
Sad (I can't believe my baby is going to kindergarten) and joyful (I am so excited to go through this experience with him)
Full of hope (He will learn so much, have so much fun) with just a dash of regret (Did I enjoy all the baby moments enough, Was I not as patient as I should have been)
Scared (What if he feels lonely) and excited (He's going to make so many new friends)

I can't believe this moment is already here... where did the time go? And if this arrived so quickly, what will be here next?

I will set an intention to enjoy these moments, this year, this beginning for him even as a small part of me mourns the loss of his "preschool years."

Good luck tomorrow little buddy... my pals. I know you will shine!
