The Big Day!

Well, we made it! Jack had a great first day at Kindergarten. I wish I could say the same for myself. I did not cry as much as I thought I would, but a few tears were definitely shed. Last night, I began to wonder if he was as ready as I first thought. He said, "I don't think I am going to Kindergarten tomorrow." So, after a book about the first day and a sprinkle of Ms. Powers' special "jitter glitter", he finally went to sleep. Although, not before asking why the jitter glitter was not working. I suppose he really thought it was magic dust and it would be lights out immediately. He got up this morning very excited and marched in like he has been doing this his whole life. Jack, the little politician. He went over to a friend of his who is in 2nd grade and was not happy about being at school at all and tried to console him. :) He said to me tonight, "Mom, kindergarten is a lot better than staying at home just making stuff up all day isn't it?" So, I guess our time together means a lot more to me than to him! Today I am so thankful for time with a friend so I didn't have to miss him at home today and for the comfort, welcome and hugs from the special staff of this sweet school.
