The first day of Kindergaten for my first born.
He was more ready for this day than I was. I couldn't sleep the night before and was in tears while he fell asleep early and slept so soundly.
He woke up that morning and exclaimed "I'm going to Kinder today!" I was excited for him, yet broken hearted for myself. Sure, I have one more left at home, but even my days with him home are numbered. He is scheduled to start his special ed preschool within a couple of weeks. I won't start talking about that, though, because the tears will start flowing!
DJ couldn't wait to go to school and even requested his "special occasion" hair style - spikey hair.
We decided that we would walk to school that day. He was all smiles about going to school!
He loved his new backpack.
When we dropped him off, my tears were flowing. I did not want to leave his classroom. He, however, was doing great and sat right down in circle time to listen to a story.
As soon as we got home, I got started on my special treat for him. What's a special occasion without a cake?
Today is the 4th day of school and he is having such a great time and looks forward to going every day. I hope he feels that way when he is in high school! :)
Today is also the first day of homework. He has been looking forward to this day since preschool (where he was disappointed that they never assigned homework).
