the first day of school went off without a hitch... we woke up on time, we ate, we got dressed, hair brushed, teeth brushed... lunch made. and then off we went!
4th grade... i feel like i was just in 4th grade. now i have a 4th grader!
He picked out his shirt. we went shopping the other day and something he usually dreads, he was looking through racks and holding up shirts to himself in the mirror. could it be that we have a shopper on our hands? I doubt it - it was a full moon, i think.
awweee.. my school kids...
Grace was very excited to go. She looked so cute in her new clothes and new back pack. Let's not get my tears started (again!) ...
we dropped Jay off first, and since all of the 4th grade classes were sitting out in the hall, i couldn't give him a hug or kiss. :(
then on the way to Grace's class i only sobbed 3x. we sat her down and daddy said goodbye (insert another sob) then i said goodbye (sob) stood up to leave (sob) started to walk away and she says, Mommy, you're not staying? (i could have kissed her! and i wanted to say, YES! I'LL STAY!) but i said, No... I can't stay. And then the teacher took over and started distracting her. i waved one last time -- (SOB)
and then that was it.
we walked away...
