First Day of 1st Grade



Well, today was the first day of all day school for Andrew. How time flies! I can't believe that summer is already over and I really can't believe my little boy is in school all day. I have to admit (and I know all you mom's of older kids will laugh at me) it was much harder on me this year than it was last year. Something about him being at school all day, eating lunch there, etc, etc. It sounds pretty sad coming from a mom who up until the last week has been working, but after dropping him off at school, I had a little cry in the car. It's been weird being at the house today without him. Even Ally has been missing him. She keeps asking me when he'll be home so they can go ride bikes around the park. She has been my little shadow all day...even now she's sitting on the desk watching me blog...



Just one more thing for us to get used to. I'm really happy for Andrew and can't wait to hear all about his first day.

That makes me feel so much better to know that I am not the only mother that has a good cry after her kids are at school! It did get better, sort of anyway. I was so proud of myself when Justine went to 4th grade and Kaden 3rd and I didn't cry! (I am such a wimp) Andrew is getting so big. I can't believe how much he looks like Jim and Ally is your little twin! They are darling!!! I am glad to hear that you are loving your time at home! You are a great mom!

I did not cry... but a bug did fly into my left eye & due to the necessary rubbing of said eye, it looked like I had been bawling!
Cute, cute pic of Andrew!

It is so fun at this age because the kids are so excited to go to school! And he definately looks just like his dad! Mason follows me around all day too until the kids get home:)
Keep having fun!
