Ugh! Now I am crying! I don't have a little one in school yet, or in daycare as I stay at home, but I just dread the day our firstborn goes to school! I am going to be a total wreck! These last 2 days have been rough seeing all my friends' posts on facebook and reading blog posts about the first day of school. I hope my little guy doesn't cry, you poor momma! Glad today went sort of better? Hang in there! =)

PS - Just be glad you knew where he was, a friend of mine posted on fb that her son said he got off the bus at the wrong school (we live in a small town where all grades ride together) and walked to the primary school! Not too far from the jr. high, but still! She said she hopes he was making things up, that the bus driver should have noticed his bus pass and that he was so little, the smallest on the bus! Yikes!

Tammy,

Adrian will probably do better than you and John! *LOL*

Shelby did great when she went. Of course she was my baby girl...this was before Emily was born, of course...it was much harder
on me than it was on her. But, yesterday when Tyler was so scared that was REALLY tough. So, either way it's hard on the parents,
but of course when they go in and tell you goodbye and they don't need you there that's really hard too! We just can't win either way! :)

Good luck. Can't wait to hear how it went!

The kids don't start back to school here until Sept.7th. Aurora is going into grade 11 and Aidan into Kindergarten. John is so worried about Aidan that he's freaking me out. I'll let you know how Aidan makes out and how me and John make out.

Anna,

I know time will fly...pretty soon I'll be putting my last baby in Kindergarten. It was a tough morning, but hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Shelby is always styling, girl! She won't go to the back yard to play without making sure everything matches perfectly! She drives me insane!!!

Patti, Emily had to be in the pictures. When I would try to pull her back she got so upset I figured that I might as well just let her stay there!

Shelby stayed at Kindergarten and I know she was scared...I could tell but she went in and stayed with no worries. Poor Tyler...

Oh, and Miss Shelby was looking so stylish for her...

Oh, and Miss Shelby was looking so stylish for her first day of 2nd grade!

I remember my son's first day of kindergarten. He didn't know any of the kids, but he had met his teacher a few days before at the Open House. So, when we got there, he saw her and was happy as can be. He turned to me and said, "you can go now, mom." He didn't even want me waiting on the sidewalk with him until it was time to go in!

Not as heart-breaking as Tyler's first day, but it was hard to realize that he didn't need me. It didn't bother him one bit that I was leaving him at school.

This year, we'll be leaving him at college. :(
Luckily, he'll only be 15 miles from home, and he'll be coming home at least some of the weekends. But still, move-in day (8/30) will be hard.

It was a long time ago, but I remember I was much more upset than either one of our kiddos.

They were ready for kindergarten! No horror stories.

P.S. I love how Emily posed at the door with Shelby and Tyler. Was she with you all day?
