I haven't scrapped since Monday, which rare for me to not scrap for longer than 24 hours... I am still in denial :crying:
Do you think it's fitting to scrap this as a bad event for the bingo challenge? I've lost my baby :unsure:
 
Awwwww, I know it's a time of mixed emotions for sure, but I always look at it in the way that he's doing what he's supposed to do - growing up :( He'll become an awesome human being who will have the world at his feet and so much to offer the world. I'm coming to grips with my youngest child looking at colleges this summer and flying the coop completely in another year and a half so I know it's a rough time for you!
 
Awwww...he's going to do just fine, Sherly. You and Lan have given him the love and guidance he needs to prepare him for this big step. If only there was a way to make it easier on the parents. Hang in there, mama! :wub:
 
You haven't lost your baby! I promise! You guys are going to have ALL KINDS of new things to talk about and learn together and you'll get to see whole new sides of him. I'm not trying to downplay your feelings, I totally get it. I was a wreck when my son started school, but I had my hands full with his baby sister at the same time, lol!

Do you have opportunities to volunteer at the school? I was always class mom with my kids. I swear there were weeks I spent more days at the school than at home, but I loved it and I got to know what they were up to and who their friends where and all that good stuff.
 
Big hugs, Sherly!!! You will see this time of change means new things for your relationship and new freedom for you to explore & enjoy while he is busy at school. I know it hurts so much to say goodbye to the baby days, but he is still little and you still have a lot of time to enjoy him before he grows up. <3
 
It is hard to see them go off to school like, but they seem to really come into their own personalities at that point. It's very interesting to see. He is so cute though, like ridiculously cute, so we need more layouts to keep seeing him. ;)
 
It's definitely hard! Mine is in first grade and sometimes it's still hard to think about how fast he's growing. I think you should scrap it and it would fit that bingo spot because for you it was a bad day. Hugs!
 
My baby is in kindergarten so I know how you are feeling. I don't plan to have more kids so I'm just enjoying all of it as much as I can even though it makes me sad. The mojo will return. You just need to get through your emotions and then you'll find yourself scrapping again.
 
Thank you, ladies!

His first day was filled with anxiety on his side... I told him many times that his papa and I are coming back to pick him up later, he nodded but he didn't get it, I think.
So, half way of school he kept looking for me, clinging to the teacher and kept calling for his mama. He didn't eat his snack or lunch provided by the school. He went home like a lost spirit and napped a long nap.

The second day, he was happier, more active and paid attention very well, teacher said. He also ate his food.

Today, I got to talk with his western teacher (they have 2 teachers in the class, one Chinese & one western), I asked him how Michael is doing in class. He said Michael is definitely one of the better kids in the class. His vocabulary of English is very good. He is active and well-mannered.

So, I got to go home having a proud-mama moment! I am glad that we did right raising him. It's an accomplishment and satisfaction that I only experience after I have him. Ah... I am a blessed mama...

And next Wednesday is his first field trip with his school. Man... can it slow down a bit?
 
Nope...once they start school it's full speed ahead. :p

I'm glad his days are getting better. I'm sure he'll grow to love it. The younger school years are so much fun for them.

Good job, Mama!
 
Yay! So glad he's adjusting. And of COURSE he's a great student... his mommy is a very attentive parent :)
 
I think you should wrote those things, how you feel and everything.
My son started school at 2yo and was very hard.
But I wrote him a letter and scrap it.
Now he is 10 and love to read it over and over.
Actually he loves all his albums, but those journalings I made for him are priceless...
 
Yes, Oriana... I am planning to, I am just trying to find the right time, time when I am ready to write them all...
