'Twas the Night Before Kindergarten....

Tomorrow is the first day of school for Anders and we all have jitters.
Yesterday was the open house and he was very shy and quite scared.
That's pretty typical for the way he has approached all of his preschool, so it was not a surprise.

He woke up this morning and told us a dream he had during the night about a mama cat and her kitten. The mama walked with her kitten to the zoo and put her kitten in a cage. She was going to leave him there. She said she might come back.

This is the same kid who after turning 5 had a dream he was holding onto a baby blanket and his grip was slipping, and he was falling off the planet.
His night life is filled with metaphor, and clearly he is working lots of complicated things out as he sleeps.

I of course am working hard to manage my own anxiety.
Stay tuned....I'm sure I will need to be writing a lot here to discharge some of the emotion I feel!
