I survived the first week of school! How ridiculous must I sound? It should be "Samuel survived the first week of school." Truth of the matter is that it was much harder on me than him.
Exhibit A: The night before the first day of school, I tossed and turned and didn't sleep as if I was the one going in for the first time. Samuel slept like a baby and was calm.
The actual first day of school Samuel got up and dressed and was happy and exited. I spent the whole morning feeling shaky, nauseous and nervous.
During drop off time Samuel entered his classroom with such curiosity and joy. I entered and felt like I was going to have a panic attack.
We said goodbye and Samuel smiled and said "See you later mommy." I smiled but walked out the door and cried my eyes out.
I never thought these emotions would come but I understand a mother's love so much more now.
It's been a great week, we are a little tired but over all everyone is adjusting quite well. Samuel likes his teacher and his school and well I love that tomorrow is a "Stay home day" like Samuel would say.
Here he is on his first day of Kindergarten.
I can not believe that my little boy is now my big boy. I am so proud to be his mommy!
