First day of school for my boys 🎊
I just dropped them off and as much as I’ve been looking forward to getting back into our school-year routine, I was surprised that I was a little teary eyed this morning 🥹
I know the boys who walked into their first day of school today will be so much bigger when they walk out on their last day 9 months from now.
Especially my oldest who will be a teenager this time next year and who I swear is waking up every day a little taller (took him to buy new shoes last week and his feet grew 2.5 sizes in the past 3 months 🤯)
As challenging as having all 4 of my kids home during the summer can be, it feels a little strange that they’ll be spending all day somewhere else.
That’s the beauty and the tragedy of being a mom, I think. It’s desperately wanting time to yourself and then missing your kids when you finally get some.
It’s watching 3 parts of your heart walk into a new school year feeling happy and excited by also grieving a little for the summer that’s over.
It’s wanting to hold on to your babies but knowing it’s okay to let go.
It’s loving them fiercely, no matter where they are or how old they get.
Are your kids back in school yet? How are you feeling about it?
PS I still have a few spots open for the 12 Lbs Down beta group if you’re looking onto get into a good wellness routine this Fall. Shoot me a DM for a discount code to join for less than $100.
Let’s make it a great school year mamas 🤗
