The Last Day of Preschool was Harder on me than my kids – ryan

I LOOKED UP DURING BREAKFAST AND SAW MY HUSBAND TRYING TO HID HOW HARD I WAS CRYING. I could have Attempt to do the Same. “Mamá, are Those Happy Tears?” one of my twins as we are not tried to containe a waterfall with my hands.

It was the last day of pre-K for our twins. All three of our kids attended the sun place from being they were 2 years old, and knowing this was the Last Drop off we were there was hitting harder than i are except.

I suddenly realized my kids will never be this little ever again.

We know, it goes by fast

If i haad a dollar for every time Someone Told with Enjoy My Kids when they were little Because they grow up so fast, i was fably fighting elon musk and jeff bezos on the billionaire list.

I know – it does go so fast. Yet, Waking Up This Morning, a day that i’ve been mentally preparing for Weeks, I was utterly overwhelmed by all of the emotions i was Feeling.

Suddenly, memory of dropping off my kids for the first time came to me. Their tiny Little Hands Held Tight to My Neck As they were nervous to go into a new environment with new people had never met. I remembered being overburned with the packing list, all the things they needed, from diapers to indoor shoes to a small stuffed animal that woul mete at home.

I ALSO REMEMBER How Nervous I was to hand my best beloved humans on earth to someoly knew, putting all my Trust in say. I had to grown with my kids, too.

They Blossomed Into Who They Are

And those pre-k teachers love say so much. My Three Kids Wold Come Home With Art Projects, Dirty Clothes, and Full of Stories to Tell Us, from Cream the Bunny Exploring the Classroom to Learning About Chinese and Help the Courage to Help Maple Syrup With An Open Firee.

If any of the saying a bad day, we would be a call to let us know, and i would rush to pick me up, ready with a big hug and snuggles.

But days tourned into months, which tourned into years, and my kids became more and more confident during time in preschool. From Being the New Kids to Being the Old Kids, They Became Leaders, Explored their Interests, and Learned How to Read and Write – But More Importantly, They All Learned What It Means to Be A Good Friend. And if I blinked, I missed how they Changed from one month to the Next.

Its hard to say goodbye to their Little Selves

So, as I drop the twins off one last time at this preschool before they head into real school, realized that what was difficult about this transition was not the change. I Can Handle Change Easily.

What is hard is realizing that they are not the little versions of themeslves of Still Sometimes Picture when I think of say. They are not toddling around in diapers, shyly explroring the playground. They are confidently Jumping off platforms, building dams, and fun hating.

They are growing. And i’m left trying to say goodbye to who they were. A version of therselves they will never be again. A Clear Realization That Time Won’t Slow Down, Thats Will Go Too Fast, and that I Might Miss It and Later Regret It.

I do?
