Mother Duties

Well this last week has been very interesting for me. First, my 3 year old started going to daycare alone. Before September him and his brother were going to the same place and he always had his brother in a room across from him. I thought that there was going to be a little problem but he proved me wrong.

Now as for my 5 year old, well he had his front teeth pulled. He was a trooper in the chair but once he started coming back to normal he was a little crazy. He had his teeth pulled the day before school started and we thought he wouldn't be ready but he was. His first day of Kindergarten and he was ready. Instead of putting him on the bus I drove him the first two days. He loved it. Before he started school I asked him did he want me to drive him or take the bus or did he want me to drive him a few days and he could take the bus the other days. Of course he said he wanted me to drive him all the days. This past Sunday I asked him would he like to take the bus and he surprised me by saying yes. Monday morning we got up went through our morning routine and we headed to the bus stop.

When we were walking to the bus stop he was so focused that he didn't notice that his dad drove by. Every bus that passed by he thought they forgot him. I let him know that it wasn't his bus. Now my son is the type to say he wants to do something and when the time comes he changes his mind. Not on Monday. The bus came down the hill and stopped. The doors open and at that point in my head I was he's not gonna get on. I told him it was ok for him to get on and proceeded to help him on the bus. He stopped(I waited for him to say he didn't want to go) he turned to me and asked me would I be here waiting for him when he got back? Of course! He got on the bus. I couldn't believe it. I was so proud and at the same time sad because at that moment I realized that my lil guy was truly growing up.

We were both excited to see each other when he returned. I'm proud of both of my lil men. They are both on their own and are doing great. Now if I can just get into a normal routine that's just for me during the time that they are gone in the morning.
