I know you love your baby, but one day he wont be a baby any more, he'll still be 20 yrs younger than you, but he'll grow up and you should face the facts now to make it easier on you later.

My son went for the first time today too. He is 2 almost 3. My daughter (4) went last year but this was his first day today.
You can use this time for yourself, first use it to clean up the house, then maybe think of other things you have been wanting to do. Maybe join the YMCA or rec center and start exercizing.
Besides that you can read up on fun thinngs to do with your son when he gets home. Find home made crafts, playdohs, make floam or flubber. You can get the stuff while he is at school and have an activity planned everyday for you to do together. This will bring you closer together and keep you occupied while he is at school.
There are tons of recipes and craft ideas on the web. (If youd like some email me)You can also go to the library and get books and what not to read to him when he gets back.
I know how you feel though, I dont know what to do with myself with both of them gone. This never happens! Im always with them.
At any rate you will both be fine and this is just another life step and feel proud you both are doing it so well!
You are a great mom! So many people wouldnt even think twice.

last year, my son went to pre-3 preschool...my hubby and i took the day off and we sat at a restaurant having breakfast while waiting for our son to get out (only 2.5 hours of school so we just hung out). We just about died! It is really hard. My son starts pre-4 tomorrow and I only took the day off. I think it will be easier this year (but then again he is my baby and I do get overly emotional/protective of him). I plan on doing errands, cleaning, anything to get that time over with before I pick him up and we have a mom/son day together. It isn't easy... but I wish you the best of luck. I hope your son has a wonderful first day!

Today both of my children went to school for the first time ever. I'm bored outta my mind, but luckly it's only a half day today. Starting Monday though I am volunteering in the school maybe that's something you would be interested in . They could always use the extra help.

It is normal what u feel, these seperations will help your kids grow stronger and more confident, Believe me even your kids will be facing the same seperation anxiety. When you go to pick him up give him a good hugg, let him sit on your lap for some time. This gives the sense of security for kids that mama is there. This is a stage for kids to expand their world. Dont you want your kids to grow up? Your love for your kids sounds healthy. Get involved in other things of life, like preparing for his arrival and eventually you will be able to focus on hobbies or higher studies or may be a career. Take baby steps to make changes, we all did it i am sure you too can!
Happy mothering!

I know, I miss my little girl when I'm at work too.
Just remember quitting times closer than you think and try to stay busy. After a while you get more used to it.

Enjoy a little free time. Clean house, go shopping, read a book. It will be alright. If you need to call his teachers to see how he is doing. Good luck

I know you miss her. But take that time to do much needed things. Or even take that time to relax yourself. There is nothing like missing your children it makes you realize how much they really mean to you.

Have another baby to fill the void of your son being away at school during the day...

Try to keep yourself busy to keep your mind off your son.
