In exactly one week Nyx will be starting Kindergarten. What a nerve wrecking milestone this will be for me. I know I’ve been telling everyone anyone that will listen that Nyx starts school soon. It’s not that I’ve been wanting him to go I think it’s more for me to drill into my head. That my son, my little guy, really is growing up and moving on to new challenges. Challenges in which I can’t be there to hold his hand. Challenges that he can’t hold my hand for.
Our final meeting with his new teacher will be this Thursday. Come that day we have to have all his things labeled and ready to be settled into his new place. His teacher’s name is Ms. T. At least that’s what it will be on here. She’s really young and quite pretty too. Not a single gray hair either. I wonder how she does it. Anyways, he’s in group B which means he won’t start till Tuesday, Group A is on Monday. They do a half day their first day and then full days then on.
He finishes school at 2pm, so he has to catch a bus to the youth center after school till I finish work. Which the other parents only have good things to say about the youth center. They help tutor kids with homework, its a supervised place for the kids to play and its only 3 minutes from my work.
The scary part is the bus. I’m terrified of him riding the bus. Seriously, my parents never made me ride the bus. When I slept at friends houses’ on school days of course we caught the bus, but that only happened like 3 times the most. And I was terrified. Kids are mean you know. lol.
I need to have faith in the bus system, but most of all I need to have faith in my son. There will be other kids he knows that will be riding the bus to the same place. So it’s not like he’ll be alone.
I have to get used to this year round school schedule though. Apparently school starts the last week of July rather than the last week of August. Holiday breaks are longer, but I think summer is shorter? It’s news to me.
I know I owe a much better update of Nyx seeing that I haven’t updated in forever and then some. And hopefully it will be coming soon.
Hopefully.
He has got this down. Im sure he had a blast.
