* First day's *

Today was Samuel's first time meeting his Kindergarten teacher and his first time seeing his classroom.

I realize that this year is filled with plenty of Firsts for our entire family.  The fact that Samuel starts Kindergarten in seven days indicates a huge life change for our entire family.  Here is why;

1.  We all are going to transition into a school routine and projects that need to be completed at home.

2.  Samuel's school schedule is different every day and that will take adjusting to lunch and nap routines not only for him but for Samara since we need to pick him up from school.

3.  Carlos and I are going back to school also.  I know that this is just the beginning of homework and research that will be done as a family. 

4.  Samuel isn't the only one who will be making new friends, most likely I will too.  Perhaps with other parents who are involved and share common interests with me.

I have anticipated this moment for a long time and now that it is almost here I find myself being a bit nervous.

I know that it is a normal thing for Mom's to go through and each day that get's closer to school starting I get more and more excited for him.  The smile on his face when he talks about school is priceless.

Everything is worth it just to see that!
