Another first..

Today was M's first day in kindergarten.. I have been trying to mentally prepare myself for this. But can a mother really be ready for when their child starts school for the first time?

He did so well.. He wasn't clingy or scared. We got there stood in line and took a couple pictures. I love that his teacher is organized and fun!! she was the only one that had an art easel with print outs for parents to take.. Along with a wishlist of small items that you can donate. So M and I picked a small potted plant. Can't wait to go to pick one out with him. I was doing well until the teacher said okay everyone let's go.. parents you stay here.. and she walked them to their classrooms..

little does he know he's about to embark on a new adventure/journey. he is on his way to the big kid world... where he'll make friends and hopefully boys and girls that are good. my influence will not be as strong because now he has his teachers and friends.. i have been working on trying to build a relationship of open communication. answer his questions as honest and to the point for his age.

I will now join be having to join PTA and chit chatting with other parents.. making more small talk or just trying to find my place too. Volunteering in the classroom and getting to know who his new friends are.

So I am taking this as my new journey too. I need to learn the ropes of your child going to school!!
