Jared going to school alone? fat chance!

When do you think you should let your child go to school alone?

Jared in his possible school look

When he is 20, I guess (LOL!) Yeah, not until he’s in High School!

There really is a slim chance for me to let Jared go to school on his own. Once he starts going to school, I will be the one to personally bring him + fetch him afterwards. What with all the crazy things happening around us (not to mention my increasing paranoia!), the trouble of preparing in the morning to go to school with him will actually be a welcome trouble + a small price to pay, for not being worried sick the whole day thinking about him.

I’d be boarding the school bus with him in the morning + would hang around the school premises until he finishes his classes. Or maybe I can enroll in a Yoga class nearby, or run around the school grounds, or blog lazily in the school canteen. It actually makes me feel giddy + excited pondering at the thought. Am sure I’ll find loads of things to do to pass the time away whilst I await for my school boy 🙂

What say you? Got any plans on letting your kiddo go to school on his own any time soon? What about your plans to spend the time away while waiting for their classes to finish? Maybe you’ll enroll in computer classes or train to be a radiology technician, perhaps? Or, on second thought, may it will be more appealing to simply relax!  😉

Whatever, share it with us at When SAHM-one  Speaks

love as i see it

 ” love as i see it is being in the arms of the one you hold the most dear ~ there is simply no better place in the world”

This photo is one of our “mum + Jared” photos that I love best. It was taken on my son’s first birthday last year + Jared’s dad took this snapshot before I put on Jared’s birthday clothes! My son, oblivious to the chaos that is pre-party jitters and last-minute preparations, leans his head lazily on mum’s shoulder + for me everything fades into the background. Nothing is more pressing + nothing means the most to me than this not-so-little bundle of joy! And nothing beats the feeling of having my little man in my arms, my little piece of Heaven here on earth! My life changed in more ways I can ever imagine when he came into my life + I have never known true love until I found out that I was to become a mother very soon. I loved him the first time I found out I was pregnant!

I guess motherhood, in more ways than one, is the perfect epitome of love – a selfless kind of love, when the world no longer revolves around you + your concerns but around this little angel that you had the fortune of being entrusted with + you vow to nurture him, to protect him + to put his needs and welfare well and above your own.

A few more days + my son will be celebrating his second birthday! Has it been a year already? Well, time does fly when one is having fun + there is more to be had, after all we’ve barely just begun + we’ve got a long, long way to go…

This is my entry to “Love as I see it”. A project of www.islandrose.net flowers Philippines.
