Paranoid.

I have never considered myself a paranoid person. If anything I have always been an extremely calm person, even during tense times. So, why now am I SO super paranoid of putting Brooke in preschool?! It's as if there is a huge weight placed on my chest so I cannot breathe every time I think about it! I want her to have everything, especially when it comes to an education.....so, why am I struggling so much at the idea of someone else teaching her?! That is one of the questions going through my head a lot since Brooke will be 3 very soon. I have been so blessed to be home with her all this time, and she is such a social butterfly that I know she will thrive in a preschool setting....so, once again why am I almost in a panic about it?! I don't judge, nor have I ever judged parents of kids in day cares or parents day out....I just cannot even bring myself to make any phone calls pertaining to anything regarding placing my child in someone else's care....

You are such a good mommy! =) The first step is always the hardest. Even though both of mine were in other's care long before I would have liked, it was super hard to do. Each step is hard as well. The first day of Kindergarten, the first day they no longer want Mommy taking them into school....hang in there...baby steps!! Good luck!!

oh girl, i know what you mean! its so hard. my girls just started to go to an education center so i could start my job this week & it was so hard to leave them. we looked at a few, and the one we chose was way more expensive. but, i really like the place and the people and i know that my girls will get to socialize and learn things in this new environment that will benefit them....so that makes me heart hurt a little less. :) but i know exactly what you mean...you just want the best for your child and that makes you such a great mom. maybe you guys should have another one to stay home w/you while brook's at school! :)
