Growing Up a little to fast....

Today marks the day that my little precious R who turned 2 not too long ago (1 month and 2 weeks to be exact) begins his school journey. For months i've been prepping him for this day, the person whom I forgot to prep was myself. Since yesterday evening I was already feeling so much anxiety over ensuring that he has everything that he needs for school in his bag. From tagging his uniform to labelling the bottles and getting him to take responsibility of packing his own school bag as well as ironing his uniform. Even hubby commented that "WoW its been ages since you held an iron." The maternal protective instinct is coming out I guess, ensuring that his first day of school will be perfect. After hubby and son fell asleep, i laid awake throughout the night often turning to look at the clock. It was as though it was my own very first day at school... Can't imagine what i'll be like on on night before my son's first exam, wedding etc...

This morning was perfect. The weather was cool and slightly gloomy but I knew that he'll be okay. He was happy and excited for school. Took a shower then carried his own uniform to get changed and had his hair nicely comb before looking at the special sandwiches that mummy prepared for him in his brand new lunch box. Sandwiches shaped like stars and hearts for his special day. Took a few snapshots for memories and off to school we went.

We arrived early at the school and therefore got a parking lot. Walked him to the drop off point and through the health check point and off he was holding the teacher's hand. After a while the teacher guided him into the lift and off he was independently on his own with the teachers whom i have to trust will take good care of my precious. While he was brave throughout the entire process, mummy couldn't help but stood behind a pillar and started tearing... My little one is so brave and independent. Didn't want to shatter his confidence because I was that slightly more emotional.

Hubby and I then headed to the canteen to wait just in case a phone call came my way. After an hour or so, i headed to the kindy premises to see if i could get a sneak peek. I stood outside the class only to see a well behaved boy who was enjoying himself in class. I'm definitely very very proud of you Baby R!!!

Mummy and Daddy Loves u more than you can imagine!!!
