I can’t believe my baby is growing up so fast. River starts preschool tomorrow morning, and this mamma’s heart is not ready. Is any mom ever ready for this?

I’m sure the staff at the preschool will be fantastic. of that, I have no doubt. I just don’t know how to wrap my mind and my aching heart around the fact that it feels like I just brought him home from the hospital YESTERDAY and now he’s four and going to preschool for the first time in the morning.

Time is so strange, and so is memory. I remember when I brought him home weighing barely more than five pounds. He was the most beautiful little human being I’ve ever seen. Still is, to this day.

Y’all send me some strong mamma energy. Heaven knows I’m going to need it in the morning.
