So, the day is here......

D is at his new school for the first day. He's doing fine..........his mom not so much. I, of course, was so focused on how he was going to do today that I didn't even see this coming. I mean for heaven sake it's just two more mornings! I've never been a big fan of change. This is big change......and it involves my baby! Thankfully after we dropped him off in the cafeteria with his teacher and other classmates, we had to go drop off some paperwork at the office. Our pastors wife is a teacher at his school and came up to tell us that he was down there doing GREAT! That was so nice to hear because when we walked away we just got this deer in the headlights look from him. I smiled and told him we'd be back in just a little while to get him. So it was so comforting that she spoke with him for a minute and that he was coloring and seemed to be doing just fine. He looked at her and said "Where are all the new kids?". She just laughed and said, "Well, YOU'RE the new kid". He's so funny. His teacher has been there forever and is apparantly very good, but strict. I think that's the hardest thing today. I never shed a tear when he went to preschool this year because his teacher wouldn't miss a chance to wrap her arms around the kids and tell them she loved them. This class wont have the same feel. I'd like to think that she softens up at times so that he can see a glimpse of that. It's 8:42, is it wrong if I go pick him up four hours early? ;)
