There's nothing more sureal than dropping your first baby off at thier first day of kindergarten. It is exciting, sad and just weird! As we walked Xavier to his classroom Q made the comment that he felt the same feeling he feels when we are in the hospital with a new baby. It's as if there's a major new beginning in our lives. Once your kid starts school you are sending them off into the real world and are losing control over what they are going to be exposed to. I try not to think about it, but it's a little scary! Since I had made the decission to home school the boys for the past year instead of putting them in pre school when we moved to Texas, I think it was especially hard for me to leave him there in that classroom. I knew then that our little family dynamic would change a little and we wouldn't get to have Xman all to ourselves. I teared up a little as we said good-bye and walked out of the room. I didn't think i'd be that emotional but it just hit me as I saw him there at his little desk. The beginning chapter of a new life for him. It's been so fun to see him grow and learn and make new friends. He has such a passion for learning. He goes to school from 8am-3pm and the first thing he says when he gets home is "I want to do homework!" I just hope he stays this excited for school.
He ADORES his teacher. I'm starting to wonder if she has replaced me as his #1 girl! Jk. He always wants to draw her pictures and buy her presents. It's pretty cute. The other night he started to cry and I asked him what was wrong and he said he was sad because his teacher had come to school with a band aid on her head and that her head was bleeding and he was sad thinking about it. He really is the sweetest kid. How could he not be her favorite?
