First Day!

Michael had his first day of school yesterday!

It went great for him ~ all but the dropping off part that Mom was a part of. I stayed too long (wanted to watch him walk into his classroom with all the kids) and he was already not sure about it all and it was all too much. They say he calmed down pretty quickly once I was gone and by his account he had a lot of fun but Mom cried the whole time he was gone and in general was a wreak the whole day. Less so once he was home, but it was still a fragile-Mommy day. I'm doing much better now, thanks for asking, and hopefully tomorrow will be way better!

You can see from his first day pictures that he was already not sure about this big idea Mom and Dad had cooked up for him (he's wanted to go to school badly for months now and all of a sudden it was here and we weren't going to be there with him? No, no, not a good idea any more!) and a little annoyed that we kept insisting he go.

New shirt for the big day!

Enough pictures already, NO I WON'T SMILE!


We go back tomorrow although we're not talking about it very much so he won't get nervous again, and so Mom doesn't get upset either (because we're all being honest here, right?).
