DD started Kinder today ... Why do i feel a tad sad ??

[smiles4u]

Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart as i couldn't think of a nicer group of ladies to tell me so ... I'm starting to feel better, i just think ' some ' of my emotions are the onset of my going through a heartbreaking transition at present in coming to terms of no more bubba's for us ... It weighs on my heart extremely heavy every hour of the day & in that happening i'm desperately hanging onto any ounce of the baby left if any in my little girl. I couldn't imagine it ' not ' being a natural reaction of a woman in my position. But i'm getting through it day by day & hope that my DD will one day when older understand i did MY best in TRYING to give her the gift of a sibling ... Not bad considering TODAY i turned exactly 43 & a half !!

Thank you again everyone ... and YES you all are right that i have to learn to look forward to the growing moments in my precious DD & learn to actually enjoy it & NOT dwell on what i will miss

Hugs to you all xox

i totally understand DS will be starting friday week.. and im so excited but also very terrified for him even though he is easy going and very social... i just fear that they wont be enough to make some friends(these are my own issues not his)

lorelle, you've got me in tears!
i already feel like my 4 month old ds2 is growing up too quick as he's my last baby. i cry everytime i pack away a 000 blue wondersuit as i know i'll never be using them again.

your dd is very lucky to have such a lovely mum

Doudou (Ellisa) i will be thinking of you lots next Fri, i'm here if you need to chat

Rainforest yes how hard is the 'packing' those 000's away ... 1st time i did i just broke down & cried ... and each size up feels 'almost' as hard, hoping it gets better with having to do as time goes by (for you too )

Oh, I know how you feel. The thought of DD going to kinder fills me with dread. I'm sure I will relish being able to get stuff done but the thought of one of her beautiful smiles going unreturned gets me every time.

[smiles4u]

I so get that Fiona, unreturned smile as it makes us wonder how it feels for them ... but Fiona you wait until you see the smile she will give you when you pick her up from Kinder ... My DD's smile was one of the biggest i have ever seen & IF there was an unreturned smile during her day at Kinder i sure reckon it made up for it when she saw me picking her up at the end of a brilliant day for her at Kinder ... Just remember YOUR smile is more important to your DD then anyone at Kinder !!!

Sooo true - that makes me feel so much better, thank you!
