You are just having a hard time letting go because you are use to your baby being at home.Let him/her grow to develop relationships outside of home besides you now have time to enjoy other things and enjoy your stories that the little one has to share when he/she comes home from school.JUST HAVE FUN!!

I know how you feel and I felt that again this year when I put my youngest on the bus to middle school.
When my oldest started kindergarten, I was crushed. Letting him go the first day was hard. When he said goodbye to me that morning he called me mommy. When He got home that afternoon, he suddnely started calling me mom!!
After the first few days, I realized that he was having fun and was feeling like a big boy, I learned to enjoy the time I had at home with our other child and when she went off to school, I learned to enjoy the peace and quiet!
It will get better. You will be so excited to see him when he gets home today and that will be great.
He may be growing up, but in his own way he will always need his mom there. Mine little guy is 12 now and although I am not allowed to kiss him goodbye infront of his friends, he always says "I love ya mom"! You'll be fine, it's ok to miss him!! I cry every year on the first day of school no matter what grade they are in!

Well, if is sort of hard at first. If your child is adjusted and not crying then that should make you pretty good. Take a deep breath and do something you have been wanting to do but never had the time to do it because of parenting.
Find a good recipe and start on dinner early in the afternoon. Bake a delicious desert and have it ready when your child gets home from school.
You could volunteer at the school, they always need parents to come and help out.
YOUR TIME NOW, HONEY, YOU CAN CALL THE SHOTS!!

Awww. He will be home in a few hours...I put my second child in kindergarten a few weeks ago and I was still emotional. My oldest is 7 and in 2nd grade but I still have a feeling that they are growing too fast for mommy. I was really gitty too because I was on percocet( I had a C-section on 7/31/06) He will tell you all about his day later...that is worth looking forward to.

Aww that is so sweet I remember then.I have 3 kids 13,11 and 3.Soon I will have the last one to take to kindergarten.I remember the 1st day of school for my 13yr old daughter.She was screaming no mommy,I'm sorry don't leave me.I took her to the class and I could hear her down the hall screaming and I cried.She even ran out of the class and down the hall after me.I was very emotional.She made me feel like I was punishing her.My 11yr old son his 1st day I took him to the class and when I got there he was like ok mom you can go now!Your still here?I wonder how my 3yr old son will be.Your child will adapt,make friends and have stories to tell you.I can see why you may feel a emotional he/she may have always been by your side.Congrats you have a child who will learn and experience a side of her/his life that he/she will remember always Kindergarten.

Get out of the house, if you do not work- go to the grocery store, go for a run, visit friends. Distraction helps.
If you still feel emotional, think about the good job you did raising that kid.
If you do not have a job, now is the right time to get one- it'll keep you distracted, make you feel useful, and you will sure need extra income now

My son is only a year old so I'm not there yet, but I know it will come really fast and I will feel the same way. Just get out of the house, do something, keep your mind busy. I've recently went back to school and it was hard to leave him three days a week but since i'm constantly doing something-it's not as bad. Just think of all the new things he/she will learn! be strong :)

I took my daughter to pre-k last week. And that was very emotional for me as well. I spent the day with my youngest and visited my mom, and cleaned house real good to pass the time. It hurt for me to "lose" one of my baby girls, but she is growing up and happy with the other kids. It was especially hard, because they are always with me, hardly ever out of my sight. But, you will cheer up, just don't look at baby pictures. I did that, and cried my eyes out. I would not suggest it. Good Luck!!!!! :)

I'm sure your little one will have a great day today! Just think about all the fun s/he is having and what great stories there will be for you to share later today. Plan a nice after school snack and sit down together to hear the whole story!

You could also vounteer at his school-or someplace else.
Remember this-from the day our children are born, a big part of our jobs as parents is to get them to the point that they are indepent of us....harder for us than them.
Also remember how much fun he/she will be having and all the things he/she will tell you at the end of the day.
I remember kindergarten....it was not an easy dayfor me, but my baby loved it. Do something for yourself!
