Watching that bus drive off the emotions of happiness and sadness hit out of nowhere. I found this post to make sure I wasn’t loosing my marbles LOL. it truly is bittersweet.

My 5.5 year old daughter is about to begin Kindergarten in 3 weeks and your story inspired me to be brave and roll with the punches leading up to her big day. Thank you.

My oldest son just started kindergarten. It's been very hard for all of us. He's been in tears every morning and every night. Which means I'm in tears while he's away. It's still very early and I do have faith he will adjust but the hurt to this mommas heart is making me question the decision to start kinder this year (turned 5 in may). There are things about it that seem to make him happy but he always come back around to, 'I don't want to go to school never ever again.' His experience is very different than my own and so I don't know what to do. I loved school, absolutely loved it-I was Marlowe!]]> In reply to Crissy.

However, she never complained once and went every day with a quiet smile on her face. She would confide in us about what she was feeling and how she was slowly getting used to it and I remember bursting with pride at her resiliency. Even though she was nervous, she still got up every day and bravely went on the bus to school! She ended up loving school and still does.

My second baby just started kindergarten and I had all the emotions coming at me as well. I was happy for her but also feeling sad. Even though I had been through this already with my first. I just wanted time to slow down and savor these precious moments with her. Time goes by so quickly and I sometimes just want it to pause. Now that she is in her third week of school I can see that she is soaring in Kindergarten and I’m very proud of the confidence she is has in herself and in school With that being said I hope Marlowe has a fantastic week. Congratulations on the baby news. ?

My daughter started kinder as well (mid Aug), but the way the school did it for us was perfect. I imagine because of the exact feelings you described that other parents must experience.
On the Friday before her start day of Monday we had Kindergarten Orientation.
Once we arrived at the front of the school there were lists posted with the names of the teachers and their students with the classroom listed.
At a certain time we went to the Multipurpose Room where the principal had a small speech, presented the PTO team. and talked about rules, expectations, etc. We then went to our assigned classrooms to meet the teacher, see where the kids (and with whom) they would share a table. She already had lists posted on the wall for volunteers needed on upcoming parties. She had a short presentation on expectations, and we were given info on an app that she uses to communicate with the parents ..
As we were walking out we were all so happy with how the day had gone. I even bought some spirit gear! My daughter was very excited and just like Marlowe totally unfazed LOL
Now two weeks in we have our little routine and our new normal is not so scary.
Oh and I signed up to be Room Mom by mistake but I think it’s going to be fun ?
Wishing your little family lots of luck on this school year and everything is going to be fantastic !

I’m so happy for him but so sad for myself. Enjoy every moment

Very much as if I was reading my own first school day’s experience with my own daughter (who’s now your age). Now that I look back, that was a walk-in-the-park compared to leaving her on first day at college! Stay strong and carry on.
All the best from Susan.

It was the same for us. I walked her down the sidewalk fully expecting to leave her in line with the rest of her class. Nooooppppeeee! There was someone waiting half way and scooped her up. I was devastated and completely lost it in the car. I messaged the teacher to check in and she was totally fine. It’s all too much! She also lost a tooth right before school… ????
