Ok, honestly...who really likes change? Some changes are wonderful, yes. Welcoming a new baby, getting married, getting a promotion/dream job...these and lots more are great changes. But lately, my little family has been gearing up for a change that I am finding quite unpleasant. Little Buddy is getting ready to transition into the toddler class at school, and mommy is not happy about it. I have felt like he's being forced to grow up too soon and that I'm losing my baby. Irrational feelings? Probably. Regardless, when change like this happens it makes me feel really unsteady. It's probably the control freak in me, but it's part of what makes me who I am. Managing the details of all the stuff at work takes a bit of a control freak's personality, which is probably one of the reasons I like it so much. So, when I feel like that control is starting to unravel a bit, I feel my nerves unravel, too. I have to keep reminding myself, though, that this transition is going to be great for him. He's going to meet new friends, gain new skills, and the hubs and I will have another great partner in raising him (his new teacher). All these are wonderful things. I'm incredibly thankful that he's in a place with people I trust to get him through this. Guess mommy's just got to relax and apply that control freak personality somewhere else ;)
