It's back-to-school season, and nothing tugs at the heartstrings quite like those first-day memories. Remember when you handed your little one over for their very first class? It feels monumental.
This sweet little boy wrote his mom a letter, not to soothe his own nerves, but hers! Isn't it funny how sometimes, our little ones seem ready to face the world before we are?
"Dear mommy, the very first day of school is finally here. Where did the time go? Seems like just yesterday you were teaching me how to ride my tricycle. I love spending every day with you, but I think it's time for you to be on your own now. I know you're scared. You'll be okay. I can't stay a little boy forever. I'm growing up, you know! I'll think about you all day, even during recess. Don't be nervous. I won't forget you. Besides, I have your kisses all over my face. Well, it's time for me to go to class, so you have to be brave now. Don't cry. I won't be gone forever. I'll meet you back here at 2:30. Maybe we can go out for ice cream. You can tell me all about your day. You're gonna have a great day. I love you, Mommy."
