grade 1

You've all heard the story (or lived it).....the sappy Mom that cries while dropping off their child for Grade 1 (or Kindergarten, or Preschool).  I knew it would be me.  I knew, because when I'd think about having my boy away full days, 5 days a week from me, or the 4 hours I'd have with him before bed time each day, I'd start to feel weepy.  This morning I was feeling very confident, distracted by the Mom's I knew, by meeting the teacher.  But once I started to drive......the waterworks started.

How could you not miss this face?

What a change from one year to another. I need to go and search out our older pictures. It gets better as the year continues.

I, too, love that last shot of him. He looks confident and you know he'll do just fine!

Oh I feel ya, mama! My Evie starts first grade next Tuesday and I. am. dreading. it. I know she'll do great, but what am I going to do without her all day??

These pictures are so wonderful. I adore the one with his eyes closed. He is such a cutie. :-)

Sending hugs your way. We all need them, don't we?
