Tomorrow is going to be a weird day.
The last day of preschool for Little Miss M.
Kind of bittersweet. I have been with her since she started preschool a year and a half ago.
Way back when she was three.
She has grown SO much and she has come a long way.
She has wonderful parents {her mom is amazing} and they are supportive in what is going on.
She is ready for kindergarten.
I hope she does okay over the summer. I am afraid of being out of school for more than two months is going to make back-to-school rough.
I had to step back and make a pretty tough decision. I was asked if I wanted to continue taking care of Little Miss M when she goes on to kindergarten.
I said no.
I needed to step back and think about what would be best for her. She is ready to move on. She needs someone new. Yes, kids like Little Miss M and my own Little Man thrive on routine and familiarity. They don't like when things don't go as planned, or as expected.
I think she will benefit from leaving preschool behind and moving forward to kindergarten.
Now, I won't tell you that transitioning to kindergarten won't be rough for her. I have a feeling her teacher, parents, new para, everyone involved will be learning a lot about her over the first few weeks.
She might bite. She might hit. She might stab with scissors.
But she might not. She hasn't done that in a long time.
She is growing up.
She will do just fine.
Even if that means leaving me behind.
She needs a new voice and a new pair of eyes.
She needs to spread her wings.
I hope I do as well as she is going to.
I think I'll be okay.
I took on a part-time position {27 hours} working one-on-one with a special needs kindergartener.
This means I can go back to school.
One step at a time.
Love to All.
