My handsome guys started school today. They were both super excited! Andrew started kindergarten. We requested that he have the same teacher as Connor had last year. We loved her and she taught him SO much. I walked Andrew into class, helped him to unpack his backpack and then said goodbye. I didn't think I'd cry since he was in preschool 5 half days a week last year. He goes the full day this year though and it's such a HUGE milestone to start Kindergarten. I totally teared up when I walked out and it took all I had not to blubber like a baby.
Connor is a big 1st grader. I'm SO proud of him and he's proud of himself too! I thought I was going to walk him into his class this morning and nobody was there. Before school the kids put their backpacks in their lines and then walk out to the playground.....the big kid playground......all by themselves! I was so not ready for that but he was! He ran right out onto that playground and found his friends from last year. That's one thing about Connor, he's so outgoing that he's always got friends. That makes me feel good about the person I'm raising. He super social and super confident. Those two qualities will get you far in life!
While the boys were away at school, I took Taylor to see the summer movie. We made it through half (it wasn't a cartoon) and then we went to Babiesrus to buy diapers and ooohh and awww over the baby stuff. Then we came home and had lunch, did some laundry, took a nap and it was time to pick the boys up!
They boys were both SO happy to tell me about every detail of their day. Andrew made some new friends, bought his own lunch in the lunch line, did a craft and had his first homework assignment! He really loves his new class! Connor bought the exact same thing Andrew got for lunch (they thought this was cool since they actually have a lot of options for lunch at school), he has an actual DESK to put his things in, he loves his teacher and has lots of friends, new and old, in his class. So proud of my kids.
