I was doing good. So much better than last year. We walked down to the bus stop and he looked up at me with his big brown eyes. “Mama, I am going to miss you so much!” He squeezed my hand and leaned into me.
I cried all the way back, tears dripping in my coffee.
This does not get easier.
Oh what adorable pictures! I'm sure you'll treasure these forever.

Cute pictures! It is so hard letting them go, isn't it? I couldn't let my kindergartener get on the bus. That big bus and my little guy? Oh my! Driving him instead helps us both get over the separation.
Hope your boy has a great day!

What sweet pictures! I've been through so many crying bouts when mine have started school, too! Preschool… kindergarten… first grade

I have two children. When my oldest started school, it was fairly easy because I still had my son had home. He became my shopping and lunch buddy. When he started school two years later, I cried the first day. I went to TCBY, got my favorite dessert, and cried as I told the gal serving it up. She listened, I ate, and that's how I survived the day.

Those pictures are just amazing! It's comforting to be going through this with some of my favorite online people.
I just took Punky to her first full day of kindergarten.

Oddly, I was fine when both of mine started Kindergarten. It's not until now, with my daughter one year away from middle school that I'm starting to feel a bit panicky. They were still babies at age 5–now she's a step away from young adulthood and THAT is sad and scary.

Hugs to you, Amy!
Hope you guys have some good snuggle time after school!

From one mom to another, I have tears in my eyes reading that.
Love your pictures.

You are such a sweet mama! It is going to be like this for me when M goes to school in a few years. She's my little buddy and it will be hard to not get kisses and hugs from her all day long.

This will be me tomorrow when my oldest son starts kindergarten. He has been my constant companion for 6 years and I am going to miss him. At least I will still have his 4 yr old brother and 2 yr old sister at home with me.

I know exactly how you feel! My son starts first grade today, and it's not any easier on me than it was last year!! I miss him so much during the days!

I'm on the other end of this…soon I'll have a senior in high school. I only have a short time left before she is an adult. Hopefully, I can teach her all she needs to know.

You're so right, it definitely does not get easier. I hope you're enjoying the days with little miss!
