Today Andre becomes a Toucan

Yep, today's the big day my little guy starts early preschool, and I am filled with so many emotions right now. SO. MANY. EMOTIONS.

Sigh.

I've been thinking about Andre from when he was small, about how fast babies grow, about how in the moment when you're up with them at 3 am to feed them you can't imagine the day they'll sleep through the night, and then all of a sudden you're there.

I also have about 7 zillion things to do in preparation. That is no lie.

I wonder what Andre will think of my mothering skills, especially with the lunch preparation thing. He is so darned picky! I just keep thinking about how my mom's lunches always were "wah wah wah" compared to some of the other kids -- will I inherit that inability to pack cool food?

Will I be like my mom and always be tardy for school? Will I always be late to pick up Andre?

It's the beginning ... and I can't believe he's this big!!!!

Most importantly, what happened to this baby????!!!! Waaaaaaaah!!!!! I must go deal with my emotions and 7 million things on my to-do list now .... :(

Sending you many good wishes for happy sailing. Every emotion is valid. It's a mess in a mom's heart most of the time, ain't it? xoxo
