( Don't mind the commentating in the background:))
So as I sit here with tears running down my face, I have so many thoughts. Let me back track a bit. I have been incredibly fortunate for the past five years to work at an amazing preschool, Boomin Tots. From the time I had Reece and came back to work, when he was 11 weeks old, I have had nothing but support. Many days when Reece refused to take his bottle they would call me from a few rooms down to feed him ( yep, says a lot about his personality , refusing a bottle at 11 weeks old!) He then turned into a preschooler . I could check on him any time I wanted. I was able to get an early peak at all his BIG moments. His teachers would stop me in the hall just to tell me something silly he said. So I worked but with Reece always close by. I knew that if I had to leave him, my colleagues loved him as much ( and definitely more some days) than I could ! I had the best situation with being a working mom!
So for the past six years, maybe even more, Gregg and I have discussed me going back to school, to get my elementary certification. Tomorrow I officially begin my new journey as a full time college student AGAIN1 I guess it is emotional for me, mostly as a mom, because Reece will now be in school full time where I can only hope his teachers love and adore him as much as they did at Bloomin Tots. Will I be as available as a mom who "works" full time? How do I manage classroom things for him and I?
So this leaves me with the thoughts of new beginning....yes they are scary, exciting, but also much needed!
I have had the most amazing last week with Reece and wish I had another but that is how things work. I know more than ever I will treasure every moment!
Just a highlight of some of our great adventures this week..
