I have a Preschooler?
Today I got an email that I get monthly from Parents.com updating me and giving advice on Jonathon's developments and age. At the top it said, "Your Preschooler," and I said to myself, "what!?" Jonathon at two years and nine months is considered a "preschooler" already? This freaks me out, I am so not ready for that. In my eyes he is still my baby, so little, so safe in my watch and care. I don't think I can trust anyone to watch him for half a day everyday except Grandma. And all those bully kids out there, Jonathon is so sensitive, how can I release him to the wolves? I'm going to miss everything, he's still growing and changing rapidly, saying new things, accomplishing new developments. I don't have to have him start until age four right? I don't even know if he is ready, is he even prepared? I need to work more with his numbers, and colors, shapes and letters, and so many other things! I am so protective, even more now than I ever have been because of all I went through last year. I feel this strong desire to have to protect Jonathon and make sure he is constantly treated well and is happy. How can my baby go from this

I totally know the feeling! And no, you don't really have to put him in preschool until he's four if you don't want to. Sarah didn't start until this past year, and she starts kindergarten this year. It's really up to you. They grow up so fast, don't they?? He's adorable. I love that "bath tub" picture!
None of my kids did preschool and they have all done really well in school so far - so don't think you have to enroll him in preschool just because "they" say you should. You are a great mom and he will be more than prepared just having you be his mommy!!
I know right? Isn't that crazy thinking, one minute they are here and the next minute they are gone, off to school!!! I can't wait for Eligh to start school soon, I think when he's like 4 years old or if they are 3 years old, potty trained and ready they could start that early. It all depends. I know exactly what you are feeling right now about our preschoolers and I have mix emotions, both good and bad. I don't trust anyone with him, only family members, and I worry that he will be in the hands of others I don't know and that is what scares me. I have to trust and have faith that he will be OK and watched over when he goes to school. Love the picture of Jonathon in the sink, very cute!!
My little baby (who loves to still snuggle with his mama) is going to be heading to first grade in July. It happens to all of 'em. :( I guess that's what everyone meant when they said, "Enjoy them because they won't be this small forever!"
