Amber and Ryan. My very animated and active daughter and my very worrying son!!!

Let's begin writing a not so new topic. My children! We will start with Amber 1st. Well, Ryan, you know the rules! LADIES 1ST!!!
Amber is turning 2 soon. Time really passes by so fast that I feel that I am not even ready for her to grow up. I was walking past a poster in my neighbourhood the other day and something in that poster caught my eye. It was a nursery school intake for children born in 2007. Hmm... that is not for my Amber, right? I walked away, a second later, I gasped! It was indeed for Amber! She is born in 07. Oh my god!!! I think I am about to faint. I think I must have turn a tad too green. Amber was looking at me curiously. But that is another story.
I spend the next few days, thinking should I go and sign her up so that I can get away from her for 2 hours a day? Is Amber ready? Is it too fast? Isn't it cruel to let children go to school at this age. I mean shouldn't it be illegal. Err... apparently not in this part of the world. Babies can go to centres, designated for them as soon as the mother's maternity leave is over!
Anyway questions and answers are all racing through my head. My conclusion is I AM THE COWARD! I keep making excuses for Amber. Which brings to mind a story about Ryan. We were staying in Shanghai then when I felt that it would be better for him to go to school to mingle with kids of his age. He had always been a very quiet toddler. Nothing like Amber now. He was also late in speaking SO after much searching around, I send him to ISS which is very near our house. The 1st week, each day I left him , he was crying and in so much tears that I start asking myself whether am I doing this right? Of course things starts to pick up as he made firm friends with another Ryan. They were like partners in crime. I remembered later that term, Ryan had to speak out in front of audiences. I was like' can he do it?" His teacher Mrs Gracie assured me that he can. That day arrived. When it was his turn to speak, I held my breath. Then I heard him speak. So distinctively clear, I teared. It was just 1 word but to me, it was music to my ears.WOAH!!!!That is my boy!
Going back to Amber, I think school would definitely be ok with her but I am not yet ready for her to leave me yet. Now there! I am a wimp! I think I will send her next year in stead. Mean while I will just keep finding excuses.
