I did it!

we/i finally enrolled collin in preschool. i am sooooo nervous about this b/c i just keep thinking what happens if we made the wrong decision. i know if it doesn't work out we can just take him back out but....i just worry way too much about everything.

the school itself seems really nice and collin had a good time when he was there. he is so outgoing and social that i'm sure he'll be fine and that i'll be the one that's a nervous wreck. the funny thing is that i think jared is more worried than me. part of it may be that he's not actually been to the place yet and hasn't actually spoken with anyone other than me about it but i think we both just want to keep him little a bit longer b/c he is just growing up so fast. seems like just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. it hit me the other day that one day (all too soon) i'm going to have to let him go off to college (my only hope is that he chooses to go somewhere close by).

we go to open house tomorrow night to meet the teachers and, presumably, some of the other parents. i hope that he has good kids in his class and a good mix of people. the director told me that their 5 day 2 yr old class last year had 8 girls and 2 boys. hopefully his class will be a little more balanced.

despite my fears i'm really hoping that this will allow him to grow and flourish outside of me. i am so overprotective that i feel that i really limit him physically. when i see other little boys his age they seem much more physically adept and i know a HUGE part of that is that every time he takes off running i tell him to stop, don't run, etc.... i'm also really excited to see how/if he takes a huge leap in verbal skills from being around other kids. time will tell, i guess.

i'll just have to make wed super special since that's the first day of school. at least i changed my work schedule so that i'll be able to work while he's gone...otherwise i think i'd probably pull my hair out!
