So I will keep this short as I have to wake Josh in fifteen minutes to allow him to eat lunch before we head off to church (i.e.--the traffic to get to church and then church).
This is the last day I have with Danny before he takes the big step into being a student. So naturally I have spent as much time with Danny as possible. Also, praying throughout the day, as for like every mother, I want his first day to be fantastic--filled with fun, learning and new friends. Not scared, bullies and every other nightmare a mother can dream up.
We spent the morning watching a new Mickey DVD we got last night. He did not seem to notice that I was holding him on my lap and silently crying as I thought of him leaving the house and heading to school--at least he did not comment on it, if he did notice. I am hoping that this will be my last cry about it, and that I can be happy and joyful tomorrow. Especially since it truly is a happy and joyful moment. My little boy is growing up and that is amazing and wonderful and I feel so privileged to watch as he develops from the young boy he is today to the man is going to be. (Okay--I better start signing off as the tears are already welling up).
We had a great lunch thanks to Dustin and I am looking forward to church today. Church here is to me such a magical place since it is filled with people from every country and every walk of life. What a joy.
I will update you tomorrow with hopefully my story of how I was brave in dropping him off (we needn't worry about Danny being brave as he has asked each day for the past week if this was the day he begins school. I am sure he will simply wave goodbye and head in the door without a second glance). I pray for no tears or squeaky voice from me. We should have pictures, although none of the school just yet, as I do not want to be the crazy mother out of the group :-) or embarrass Danny in any way.
Well as if on cue, Josh is screaming out his adorable "Mama"--until tomorrow....
