Colby's Off to Pre-School

Colby started pre-school last week and was so excited to go. He goes 3 days a week, so of course I took him the first 2 days. On the 3rd day, he wanted to ride the bus. I was a little hurt I guess you could say so I talked him into letting me take him again. As soon as we got to the school, I was getting out to walk him to his class and he tells me "Mom, I can do it by my self. I know where my class is, you stay at the truck." Hello!!!- I was so proud and sad at the same time! So I let him walk into the hall where I could barely see his little head thru the window on the door from my truck and prayed that he made it ok as I drove off. So needless to say I had to start letting him ride the bus this week. I talked the neighbor girl to come down to his stop and get on so she could show him where to sit and how to get to his class when he got to the school. When the bus pulled up, he started to walk off without even giving me a hug or kiss. I was able to stop him and squeeze one out. I am really glad that he likes to go to school, and ride the bus. It would be so hard if he didn't want to go. He is growing so fast I'm confused on whether i'm supposed to be sad or proud. For now I'm just going to be both I guess.
