First Day Of School

Well, today I became the mommy of a Kindergardener! Thomas is now getting the feel of his first day in Kindergarden as we speak. Started out well. Got up at 6 am , had the clothes out last night, got him and myself to bed early, got the supplies on the counter ready to go, names all on everything, lunch packed and ready to go , teeth brushed, boy bathed, just had to feed the baby, give Thomas breakfast, make sure he was dressed, and fed hair brushed, and we got there in time to get a parking spot . I had this all planned out. Then he did it. We're in the car. and he starts crying. Don't do this to me! I had been up since 3 thinking about how big he's gotten and that I wasn't gonna cry! 'What does he say? " I'm still a little Boy! " and starts crying! so he starts me going! I said " oh buddy! you gotta go and do this NOW! ? we give each other hugs , wipe the tears , and I say. you're gonna have a GREAT time. he says ."but I'm scared" so I start crying AGAIN. I said "theres nothing to be scared of- -Youre gonna make lots of cool things, and lots of great new friends, and learn lots of new things, and have snack time, and lunch time, and get to go go outside on the playground, and before you know it, itll be time to go home, and you wont even know WHERE the time went you'll be having so much fun and I wanna hear ALL about it! every last bit of it! ok?" and he said ok, MoM? I love you" i really really love you"
" and that made me cry even MORE it was so sweet and heartfelt the way he said it! He's such an angel. So the school had what was called a "Boo-Hoo" breakfast for all the new parents who were dropping off their first time kids at school or returning back to schoolers and were just "whoo- hooers"- was real nice-met some other weepy moms there - turns out to be a really nice school I chose for Thomas.Turns out they won a gold star award again and became an A school again over the summer by the district or state due to test scores which I'm happy about. Its a very family oriented school and they have alot of fun things coming up like socials and fairs and dances for kids as well as parents and are looking for volunteers - I think I might join. . The staff is SOO friendly Like SITCOM friendly its unreal! I think he's really gonna like it thereI know I will! Anyway, here's some pics of his first day.. Heres by the couch at home, and some from my cellphone in his classroom..
