Today I taught my last day of Joyschool. 5 kids...10 years (not consecutively THANKFULLY!) But wow...
Yesterday I registered Ethan for Kindergarten.
WOW. Tears (if only metaphorically--pretty sure the real ones will come soon enough)
I've had anxiety over this registration, wondering if I put Ethan in the right school. But as I walked in and saw Savanna's teacher from last year and the look on her face of recognition and joy...I knew I made the right choice. (Now just pray that the secretary sees that too and grants my teacher request.)
I will soon be a Mom of 'School aged' children...and that's all. No babies, no toddlers, no preschoolers.
Where will I fit in?
Will I still get invited to go to the park?
Can you ask your friends to play dates when you don't have anyone to play with?
I may go through a little identity crisis.
I'm not sad about it, quite the opposite, I feel ready to enter this part of my life.
But wow... it actually is happening.
I didn't believe that was possible some 13 years ago when I was constantly nursing a baby while reciting Dr. Seuss with my eyes closed (1. because I was too tired to keep them open and 2. because I had them all memorized.)
WEIRD.

I think congratulations are in order, though I'm sure, like lots of things in life, it's bittersweet. I'm sure you'll figure it all out because you're smart that way. I can totally relate to your Dr. Seuss moments.
Congrats! It's a fun time.
I seem to go through an identity crisis whenever I hit a new phase in my life. Good luck with your transition.
It still seems weird that most of ny friends are in your phase and I'm just starting the babies/ toddler phase.
Welcome. It is wonderful once you get used to it.
