It doesn't bother him one bit. In fact he tells me "I'm not going to miss kindy ma, I'm soooo excited about going to BIG school".
But I AM so going to miss Vaibhav being in kindergarten. I'm going to miss walking the 15 minutes and dropping both kids off at school with a tight hug and a wet kiss. I'm going to miss spending the mornings with both of them. I'm going to especially miss my darling boy being little.
Big school is definitely going to rob my son of whatever little babyhood that is remaining in him. He will be interacting with other boys....he'll learn to be tough, he'll learn bloopers(I cringe at the thought of it) and he'll behave like a big boy.He has already requested me to call him 'dude'!! When I asked him if he knew what it meant he innocently replied that all the big boys called each other that :-)
What can I say? Its been a week of mixed feelings. I am happy for him that he's going to start an exciting new journey at ACS. At the same time, my eyes well up when I think that this is the end of a phase.3 years have flown by. We've had beautiful moments. Vaibhav's first day in kindergarten, his first sports day, his first school outings were all as thrilling for us as for him. My heart still misses a beat when I think of those first two weeks in kindergarten when he screamed and cried and begged for me to be present in his classroom.
My sweetheart, I'm as emotional as you are excited. I'm just trying to hold on to something that I can't. You will grow up but will also always, always be my baby. So, the next time when you are with your friends and I happen to call you by one of your many petnames...please bear with me!
