MONDAY "MOURNING"

UNFORTUNATELY THERE WILL BE NO PICTURES FOR A WHILE ON THE BLOG AS I HAVE (OR THE BOYS HAVE) LOST MY DIGITAL CAMERA. IT IS MY LIFELINE TO OUR ACTIVITIES SO I WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PAYDAY NEARS TO PURCHASE ANOTHER. ANYWAY, BACK TO MONDAY MOURNING....THIS WEEK MARKS MILES' SECOND WEEK OF KINDERGARTEN. THE PARENTS ARE ALLOWED TO WALK THE LITTLE ONES IN FOR 3 WEEKS AND THEN THEY ARE TO BE DROPPED OFF IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING WHERE THE PE TEACHER HELPS THEM OUT OF THE CAR AND INTO THE BUILDING. THIS MORNING (THE BEGINNING OF WEEK 2) MILES INFORMS ME THAT HE WANTS TO BE DROPPED OFF. I WAS STUNNED AND UPSET. I THOUGHT I DIDNT HAVE TO FACE THIS MOMENT FOR ATLEAST 2 MORE WEEKS. HE WAS READY TO BE A BIG BOY. I TOLD HIM TO GO RIGHT TO HIS ROOM AND IF HE GETS LOST TO FIND AN ADULT. HE SAID HE WOULD BE FINE. HE STEPPED OUT THE CAR AND HEADED ON THE SIDEWALK. HE TURNED TO ME AND WAVED AND I CRIED ALL THE WAY HOME. MILES WAS OFFICIALLY A BIG INDEPENDENT BOY. IT WAS BITTERSWEET.
