It's bitter sweet but DS will be going FT to preschool next September. The baby is no longer a baby. I wish I could hold time "just a bit longer".

The house will be empty without him until later in the day.

I have mixed emotions.

A part of me is "excited" to get all the time and get my life "back".

But for the past 2 years, we have been home together. Aside the constant interuption in our lives for his therapies all day long.

Still we were able to run errands when we wanted. We have been together at home for 2 years since I became a SAHM.

After lining up activities to do/crafts/work a bit more, etc.. more than I will able to handle already with this new find "freedom", I just got his new backpack and lunch box, now, I feel I will miss him terribly and I might get emotional.

I just feel I did miss a lot of him while we had EI for 18 months. I feel I did not get him "enough". Still, we still did so much together.

I am sure I am not the 1st mom it happens to. I won't be the last.

How did you deal?

Is it like daycare? You just get used to it?
