Sam's first day of kindergarten

Talking on the phone to Grandma telling her all about his day!

HE did it.....Samuel and I survived his first day of kindergarten! He has been so excited to go to school! This morning he actually wanted to ride the bus to school but I told him that dad and I wanted to take him to his first day of kindergarten. He was pretty upset with us for taking him and not letting him ride the bus. He soon got over it as we walked into the school. We took him into his classroom, he found his name on the back of his chair and got busy playing with the toys that were on the table. I had to ask him for a hug and to say goodbye to me. As I was saying goodbye to him I got all choked up but I managed to hold back the tears until we walked out of the school. After school he rode the bus home with all the other kids and we waited at the bus stop for him to get off. He looked like such a big boy getting off of the school bus!

I have been crying for weeks about this day. It is so hard to let your kids grow up, you ask yourself, where has the past five years gone?! I am so excited for him to go to school. He is going to learn and grow so much this year! Sam said he had fun today, he learned the rules of this classroom, got to play outside at recess and had a snack. What an exciting year this is going to be for him!
