My baby started Kindergarten today

aaaww, cyntrow. I feel for you. I am still the same way with my boys, even though they have all been in school for some time. There are even times when I pick them up from school, and as I watch them walking to me, I tear up with all sorts of emotions. I know, I know. It's bad.

I hope that the rest of your day is full of happy thoughts.

I do understand how your feeling but I can say I did cry, and felt so alone after he left me,yep she is on her way out into the big wide world and all it holds,she will always need your help but it iwll be everchanging as she grows. i guess i was a mushy mommy because i cried about everything my last child did. i think the funniest one was when I droped him off at his first jr high school dance I came home crying like a baby, my husband asked what was wrong and I said I have just lost my baby dance partner to another girl.

I don't know how many children you have, but my oldest at 24 even now needs me to give advice on parenting and life. My youngest also started kindergarten last Friday and he had no problem, he went onto the bus without looking back, so I know what you mean.. Children will always needs us, just differently as they get older..

Really feel so bad when we think that our children wont need our help anymore. I wish I be with my child all the time in all difficult times of life. My son has not yet started KG and I think too far. A mother's heart.

aw, i sort of know how you feel. my oldest started preschool today. she was so excited to go and left my side as soon as we went into the room. it made it a little easier since she wasn't scared to leave me but i still got a little teary eyed when i was driving back home lol. every time the phone rings i'm worried its them calling to tell me she wants to come home, even though i'm sure she's fine lol.

School for us here, starts back the day after Labour Day. Next Tuesday my sixteen year old daughter will be entering grade 11. I have absolutely no idea how this can be possible, and the time has flown by much too quickly. I remember those kindergarten days, like they were yesterday, and am tearing up here, as I'm responding ... oh dear. I certainly can relate though, and I know you'll enjoy each milestone along this journey with your daughter. Don't worry, about your daughter not needing your help anymore, as she will, for many years to come. Even my daughter (who thinks she's all grown-up) still requires my help for certain things, although in a much different way now. Have a great day.

I remember the day my oldest son hopped on the bus the 1st day of Kindergarten. When the bus pulled away I cried. It's so hard to let go so that they can grow. It does get easier as time goes by. We have to adjust to the transition just like they do. Now my oldest has grown into a man as I get ready to send my other son off to preschool come next week. I'll be starting all over again with the school stuff. You're not alone hun.

What do you mean you wanted to cry, I am all teary-eyed just reading this. Girl I still cry the first day of school and my girls are in the 3rd and 5th grade. I hate the first day, don't get me wrong I don't let to the girls know anything is wrong, but man it's killing me on the inside. Then once they are in those doors, the tears flow. I am just one big snotty mess the first day of school, LOL

I remember this feeling when my older children first started school and am not looking forward to it when my younger two start . It seems they grow so fast, one minute they are in our arms and so dependent on us and the next they are off on their own . But as sad as this is, it means your baby is growing up and I can promise you that you will still have many more moments to share because no matter how old your baby ever gets, she will always reamin your baby .I wish for Happy Thoughts for the rest of you day!!

It is a good sign that she did get on the bus, some kids cry their first day. This won't be the last time she will be needing you. My 24 year old still needs me...LOL...My youngest just graduated from high school. My oldest grandson started Kindergarten today and he is all excited. The youngest grandson is 3 and he will be starting preschool on Sept. 11....Thank you for sharing..
