First Day of Kindergarten

August 5th 2013. The true beginning of the rest of his lil life :)

      Well here in our great lil corner of the world school has started back. We prepared for weeks during the summer talking about what his new school was going to be like, how making new friends can be fun, and how many amazing things he is going to learn.  And with much anticipation he was shockingly excited. 

         Sunday night we had laid out his clothes, shoes and got his backpack ready and lunch packed, so we were ready to go. My husband and I even prepared for what could possibly be a traumatizing morning.  We had hoped for the best, but as always planned for the worse.  Bedtime was another huge success, done without a fight or fit. Tucked snugly in bed we had high hopes for the day to come.  

       Our day begins bright and early at 7am and much to my surprise Hunner bops straight out of bed, all smiles and ready to roll. What seemed to be the hardest task in pre-k had now, even for just one day, became super easy. He smiles from ear to ear and exclaimed. I get to go to SCHOOOOOOOOOL today!! Which made me happy and sad all at the same time. (every mommy dreads her babies first day of school).         

       He runs to the bathroom to brush his teeth, comb his hair and get ready for the big day, all without a fuss(another proud moment). Seeing as how we had already stocked his clothing drawer full of red shirts(his favorite) and comfy shorts I assumed the outfit of choice would be no problem. "BUT MY SHOES DONT MATCH" he screams, and i think oh no...its beginning,  BUT we are quick to remind him that his shoes do match...They match your backpack, and your glasses, tantrum avoid and a score for Mom and Dad. 

       Now its time to leave, would all the hard work over the summer pay off?  We load into the car and drive the longest 5min drive of my life, to arrive safely at the school. He has no hesitation at unbuckling and quickly taking my hand....To the front door we go, by this point my heart is about to beat out of my chest. We walk into the gym and much to our surprise Hunner's bests friend from pre-k is in his group, a true breath of fresh air. Hunner runs straight up all ready to tell T about his summer, and I knew from that moment on our first day of school would be a huge success.
