Where has time gone?

Yesterday was a huge milestone. My oldest went to Kindergarten! As a family we walked him to his classroom. He found his cubby and stowed away his backpack. His teacher is so wonderful!!! She had a coloring book for each child to color in while they waited for the day to begin. We said our goodbyes without tears from anyone. I didn't expect him to cry though. He has always loved going to school.

At home my youngest and I set about our day. She is almost 4. She didn't quite make the cut for VPK this year, so she attends the School of Mom:) We went over her letters, colors, and practiced handwriting. Then we had a good game of Operation. The day passed with chores and other interludes of fun until the time cam e to pick him up from school.

I went 40 min early to sit in line. Yes I will be on of those moms who sits and waits. Note to self though: pack water and snack for "L". The time came for us to get "P" and oddly enough it was then that the emotions hit. I am glad that I had on my sunglasses so he couldn't see my tears. I think I was just so proud of him. He had a great day (insert Freshbeat song here...)! I asked him what he loved most about his day and he said, "My teacher gives us candy"!!. Oh boy...

First Day=Success!
