The Kindergartener

Oh boy.

It hurt. I wont lie.

I cried.

This isnt something that gets easier with each child.

I felt my heart get really tight and my stomach lurch.

I wanted to grab him and race back home.

But he went. And he was excited.

After breakfast he told Jordan:

Well, my head wants to go...but my tummy doesn't.

FAVORITE QUOTE EVER!

Then he told me that he was 2 nervouses and 1 excited.

But when we got to the school he switched it and was 1 nervous and 2 exciteds

See...these conversations are why I almost drug him back home!

I MISS HIM!

We went to hang up his bag and he shares his cubbie with a girl.

Well she had her bag on his hook.

He whispers...'Should I move it?'

I told him that was fine. He said, 'Phew, that was close'

SEE He's Hysterical!

At this point there was no way I was going to get a decent smile.

So we went and found his teacher.

I said, are you ok buddy?

He looks at me and says, 'I need a hug'

ugh.

I gave him a huge hug and my tears started.

The sweet kid patted my cheek, whispered 'I love you' and turned to play with his buds.

ugh.

I have a feeling he's going to give me reassuring face pats a lot in life.

It felt SO good knowing he was going to be with some of his best preschool friends.
