Well, I have to pause in my vacation posting to add a post in here today....it is the first day of school--for ALL of my children! I never thought this day was actually going to happen! Dustin is in 3rd grade, Jodee is in Kindergarten, and Dylan is in Pre-K. WOW--I have a full 2.5 hours to myself everyday! What in the world am I going to do?
I didn't get sad like a lot of other mom's, maybe because I've been through this a few times. But I 'm so excited for my kids to enter into another phase of their lives---school! I know they will love it, and love their teacher's, and have fun, and learn a lot!
I drove them to Orvis Risner this morning because it was a little rainy outside today. Bummer! We love walking to school. We walked Dustin to the front of the school and said a quick bye--he was ready to go!
Then, I walked the other two around to the pre-k and Kindergarten side of the school. We took Jodee to her class first, and being the big girl that she is, she went right in and found her place!! I watched for a minute from the doorway and we gave each other a thumbs up sign, and that was that. Too sweet.... Then, on to Dylan's classroom! We did what we were supposed to do--find his cubby, hang up his back pack, and find his spot around the circle, and listened to the sweet tear-jerker of a story "The Kissing Hand", and exchanged heart stickers (well, he didn't really want his, so I ended up with 2!), and I was out of there. So happy for him to have a good teacher and a good school to go to. They are growing up!
I enjoyed my time...got a little cleaning done, but not much. It was weird being home alone...but okay. It was only two and a half hours!! Check back with me in a couple of years when Dylan starts 1st grade and I'm home alone ALL day! That may be a totally different story!
Here are the kiddos in their choice of clothing for the first day...yes, those are "sleeves" on Jodee--came with her Hannah Montana shirt!
And, showing off their backpacks:
And the ritual--the pic in front of the marquee! It looks like Dylan's backpack is heavy huh? It's not...he's just standing funny! And, showing off their backpacks:
Well, it was a great day so far. I walked to pick up Jodee and Dylan and we went to sonic with the Bailey's to talk about their exciting first day! Can't wait to see Dustin!
