So far he is liking school the only issue we are having is that he does not want to nap during their nap time. The teacher had to let him play in another room while the other kids napped. I felt bad, but what can you do if they are not sleepy? I know how you feel know about missing your boy. Arman was like my buddy or partner in crime when he was home with me. We had fun! But they got to grow up. Thanks Delphine for making me feel much better about our decision.

We were together 24/7 the first 3 years of his life. Then he started nursery school, it was good for both of us, only half days 3 times a week. Then last year he started kindergarten which is 5 half days but now it is really hard not to see him ALLLLL day. I keep asking him if he wants to stay home and I will homeschool him but he always says he likes going to school! He does say he's bored sometimes but he still wants to go! I know it's because he's ready to do something but I would prefer him to stay with me forever! I can't compete with the bus rides and pizza pockets!! Just keep thinking you're doing the right thing and the time is right for him to learn how to act away from you. I was surprised to see how many kids were away from home for the first time in 1st grade this year and were having a really hard time adjusting which took away from their schooling. One boy has already missed 4 days because he begs his mom to keep him home and she can't let go so she does! Just typing this makes me miss hanging out with boy2001 but I will continue to let him go and pray for his safe return. Natasha,

I keep asking him if he wants to stay home and I will homeschool him but he always says he likes going to school! He does say he’s bored sometimes but he still wants to go! I know it’s because he’s ready to do something but I would prefer him to stay with me forever! I can’t compete with the bus rides and pizza pockets!!

It is hard, but they have to grow up and learn through many experiences they will go through in their lives. I am feeling a little better now and I can't wait because he will be home very soon now. I am just praying that he had fun and will be excited to go back on Wednesday. Thanks so much, Natasha :) Highlandgirl,

The only thing I can tell you is that it benefit him. I know as a mom it's hard to let go when you're trying to hold on so tight, but I have come to realize that I have to let him grown and become his own person.
