How do you put into words the feelings as
you watch your number one take their first step towards their new adventure,
without you waiting to catch them if they fall?!
Makai started kindergarten today.
I cannot even begin to express my feelings
but I know you mothers out their know exactly what I’m talking about.
They give you information on what things
you an do to help your child start school but really they need to write one for
first time parents.
Makai has been the greatest through this
whole experience.
He has been my wing man.
He has comforted me when I have needed it
most.
He will give me a big makai hug, kiss and
tell me “I love you so much mum.”
We have had conversations about going to
kindergarten where he has told me “I’m ready to go mum but I will miss you.”
He is tender and so genuine.
I worry that the world will change his
sweet little spirit.
I worry that he will be bullied or picked
on.
I worry that his glasses will hinder him.
But then I think how great he will be,
What great things he will accomplish.
What people will he influence.
He walked hand and hand with me into the
school gates.
He was jumping with excitement he could
hardly wait.
As he waited for his turn, we arrived at
his classroom, KN, he walked straight in like he had been there a hundred times
before.
He gave me one last makai hug and kiss,
told me he loved me and then that was it.
He was officially a kindergarten-er.
His mountain is here and he is beginning
the climb,
I cannot wait to see what wonderful things
life has in store for my little boy.
