What a week! Preston went roller skating for the first time with his day care on Thursday. He had a blast until he got home and complained his feet hurt. We shook it off as he was just tired. After being in bed and asleep for 2 hours he woke up crying. He wouldn't let us touch his feet and was inconsolable. We gave him some Tylenol and made the decision to take him to the ER to be sure nothing was broken. The kid was happy go lucky when he saw the doc! It turns out they think it was a severe strain of the tendons on the bottom of his foot. We felt a little silly being there but our luck if we didn't go he would have had a broken bone and we would have felt horrible for not taking him!!
Today, my little boy showed me how grown up he is. We went to meet his Kindergarten teacher and walk around his new school a bit. He had no problems and seemed quite excited. He of course got a little shy but that is normal for him. Luckily a little girl from his Pre T-ball team from last spring is in his class so he kind of knows 1 other kid. I know he will probably do fine but how do you let go? I feel like I am sending him into unknown and uncontrolled territory! I won't be able to protect him much at all. He will become even more independent. I know our goal as parents is to raise happy, healthy, intelligent and independent kids but man is this hard! I want to keep them sheltered in my safety. It was so hard when they were born because they were no longer safe inside of me where I could protect them. Now I am sending my boy to a big place by himself. I am assured daily he will be fine. I have to keep telling myself that! I am preparing myself to cry a lot Monday morning but am hoping I can hide it at least a little bit from him!!!
We will enjoy our weekend with friends and I will try not to think about the fact that my baby is going to kindergarten!
