Ok so today I went and met a lovely lady that does child minding. My first born will be 3 in two weeks and has never spent a day away from me. My husband and I have been talking about putting him in care for 1 day a week for a few hours so it wont be such a huge step going from being at home all day with mummy to 2 and 3 days at kindy. Well its all become too real and tonight after cuddling my baby to sleep I lay there watching him sleep with tears pouring down my face. It was like watching him sleep for the very first time after he was born. I got that overwhelming feeling you get when you just stare at your child sleeping and have so so soooo much love for them. I cant even believe its been nearly 3 years since I birthed this beautiful little boy! Its like only yesterday we were blessed with such a beautiful little gift. He has taught me so much and is still teaching me so much. I am feeling so emotional thinking about his future and that he is going to be away from me. I know he will be fine and this is my issue not his. Im finding it so hard watching my babies grow up and knowing I cant keep them with me forever. I know I need to let him have his little bit of freedom and learn he is his own little person without mummy right next to him but oh the thought is ripping my heart out at the moment. (Kirra) Did anyone else go through these mixed emotions when you had to leave you child for the first time? Please tell me it gets easier letting them go.
