* one week down....*

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!
