First Day Of School

This picture says it all, he was very excited.

Learning to let go.

I made sure that his new clothes were laid out, that he had a hot breakfast in his tummy. I made sure that his hair was washed, nails trimmed and teeth brushed. I did all I could to make sure that our little guy sparkled on his first day of kindergarten. We loaded everyone up in the stroller and walked to school. P-man was very excited and walked way ahead of us, with his batman back pack flapping on his back. He had no problem standing in line waiting to go in. He didn't need me to hold his hand or reassure him, he didn't even cry. I was a total mom stalker, I waited till they took him to class and then watched him all the way. I was even tempted to go peak through the glass and make sure that he found his cubby okay and was sitting in his chair. I wanted to see him make friends and feel that reassurance. But instead I walked home with the girls. We came in and I felt sad that my baby was now a "big" boy, but also excited for this new adventure. We went to pick him up and he was all smiles, daddy came home to surprise him and he was excited to have us all there. We had to interrogate him to get him to tell us all the details of his morning. The first day of kindergarten was a success, hope he is as excited to go tomorrow as he was today.

Sincerly,

this mom stuff is tough
