Here is some honestly...I am looking forward to my new job...but I am fully aware that I will be missing my days with my little Alexander. For over a year now I have experienced what it takes to be a stay-at-home Mom. It's not an easy job, and yet I loved my moments with him. So I have to be honest with my mixed feelings of going back to work. I think it makes me feel better by saying that Alexander is 4 years old and should be in preschool. But, it really doesn't change the fact that my little one and I are going to have some struggles with our new schedule.
While Alexander was "acting-out" on Friday I decided to talk to him about his behavior.
Mommy: Alexander, are you okay with Mommy going back to work?
Alexander: tears forming in his eyes, and his little bottom lip doing that little quiver he states, "Why don't you want to stay home and play with me Mommy?".
Mommy: Tears now forming in my eyes, I hugged Alexander and said "Mommy always wants to play with you. It's just time for you to go to Preschool and time for Mommy to go to work. Besides, you get to play with your friends. Don't you want to play with your friends?
Alexander: All smiles now...yeah, I want to go to school with Peter (neighborhood friend).
Then he ran off and played like their was never a problem.
Mommy: still crying and wondering if I just put my son in counseling? I think I am the one left with a heavy heart and guilt.
In August he starts kindergarden, we signed him up at Fuller Elementary. We are excited about this as this was the same Elementary School that Zac went to when he was little.

You made my wife cry, way to go. Cute kid, I'm sure he will LOVE preschool. Can't wait to hear about your first day of work. I hope you get to carry a gun (do they do that for Human resource employees ;)?)
