Today marked the first official day of Kindergarten – uniforms and all.  Of course there was no way I could resist the urge to take pictures – AGAIN!  But, good thing I have a pretty photogenic and cooperative boy!

Nathan began the day with mini-bagels slathered with strawberry cream cheese and OJ for breakfast.  He was pretty proud of himself for being able to do his own belt and tuck his shirt in all by himself too.  I almost lost it when I saw him all dressed and ready to go in his uniform. 

Will and I went to drop him off at his classroom and stayed for a few more photo opps, morning prayer, and the Pledge of Allegiance.  I was hesitant about leaving of course, but didn't want to be the last parent left lingering in the hallway.

We got to the car and as I read the poem from the teacher that she'd given to all the parents, I felt completely comforted.  And then – I lost it.  Of course the pregnancy hormones don't help the situation AT. ALL.  Then Will catches me bawling and HE starts crying!  I of course kept reassuring him that I wasn't sad and that I was crying because I was happy.  That didn't help so much.  It was obvious he missed his brother too.  He just kept saying "Nathan's going to be lost!".
 
Finally we got back home and I began counting down the hours till it was time for pickup.  ♥
