Hello! It's been a while. What can I say, life got busy and blogs were forgotten. But I am in need of an outlet for the non stop random thoughts my brain is currently producing, so here I am again.
This week I enrolled my baby into a 3's Plus Kindy Program to start next year. Yes, my baby is now 3, can you believe it! I am happy with my decision to send him one day a week to socialise and learn in a play based environment without me but the entire prospect of him going and everything it entails has gotten me a little anxious. I had zero qualms about sending my eldest three to day care when they were younger so why am I so reticent about sending my youngest? He is less clingy and more social than my two middle children were so I feel he will transition easily into the routine of being without his Mamma for 7 hours once a week. But how will Mamma transition? I'm not so sure!
Maybe it's because he's my baby and I want as much time with him as I can before he heads off to full time school (the thought of that completely bowls me over). I think a big part of it is also that it has made me have to start contemplating what I will do once all my kids are in full time school. Do I re-enter the workforce? And if so, do I go back to what I was doing or try to enter a new field? Should I study and if so what? I feel like a child again whose teacher is asking "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Too many thoughts, too many options and all just too overwhelming! All because I enrolled my child in a Kindy Program once a week. So I am going to stop putting so much pressure on myself and instead go and enjoy the company of my little man.
If you are wondering who I have decided to entrust with my child's early education take a look at the following link. http://www.evelynenrichmentfoundation.org
