We entered a familiar school building last night, but we passed all the familiar rooms. We waved hello at the familiar teachers, but kept on walking. This time, we turned a corner. We turned a corner away from the toddler room, away from the two-year-old rooms, and stepped instead towards the new three-year-old classroom. A classroom in which we learned about new things ahead: cooking lessons, show-and-tell, and even an introduction to Spanish language.
The smart mom in me is proud to have such a fantastic school and unique curriculum for my child.
The sensitive mom in me wants to know where my baby went.
Soon, Amelia will be helping me in the kitchen. Soon, Amelia will be teaching me basic words in a language I do not know. Soon, she will be grasping my hand as we hunt around the house for a show-and-tell item that begins with the letter of the week.
She only knows three kids in her class this time around. I hope she also brings home many stories of their adventures and laughter together as friends. Soon.
Change is difficult.
Even when we know it is for the best.

I'm having a hard time with this as well. Mine is entering 4-K and this is supposed to be the time where I start looking back for another career job. Instead I find myself pondering Homeschooling. I'm on the fence, but I have one more year before I can make my decision.
