It's Hard to Let Go

So my son will be in P1 this year. So is he ready for the challenge?

Recently hubby imposed a strict rule that all must follow. We are all not allowed to help Kyle bathe, eat or change his clothes. Hubby said that we all pamper him too much. But it's hard to stop bathing, feeding or changing clothes for my baby, ok?

I especially love feeding him, because there is nothing better than a mother feeding her child, right? I remember there was one time I fed Kyle rice using a spoon, and he said,"Mama, can you feed me with your hand? I like the taste of your hand, and not the spoon." My heart melted.

Hubby's rationale for not doing all these for Kyle is so that he will be more independant and can adapt to Primary 1 better. Which is true lah, I mean, the teachers are not going to feed him at school or wash him after he visits the toilet, right?

So now, he does all this on his own and even washes himself after doing his "big business". I feel kinda sad, like I abandoned him :( But hubby assured me it is for the best.

He is an independant and bright boy. He can grasp a lot of concepts and can think out of the box. Sometimes, when we debate, I feel that I am on the losing end. He is already a whizz with the computer and knows how to play online games without anyone teaching him. He can be very organized just like his daddy and would arrange and keep his toy cars carefully in his drawer.

I know that he will have no problems with primary 1 and he will adapt well. I love you my baby. No matter how fast you are growing up, you will always be my baby.
