First Day of School!!!

This past week has been an emotional rollercoaster! I had quite a few crying moments just thinking about Mason heading off to school! At the beginning of the summer I had Mason registered at school for all day kindergarten. The more I thought about it the more I dreaded the thought of Mason being gone ALL day long. I know some kids can handle that and would be perfectly fine. And while I think Mason could also handle that I'm just not sure that I could! I couldn't shake the nagging bad feeling I had, so I called the school and asked if they had any spots available in the half day class. The woman on the phone told me that they usually were booked solid but that very morning a mother called and dropped her kid from the school! Words cannot express the relief that rushed over me! I felt so calm and at peace putting him in the halfday class.

Mason was sooooooooo ready for school today. All morning long he kept saying "Is it time yet? Can we go now?" He also kept insisting he would walk himself to class. I told him he was crazy and wouldn't even be able to find his classroom! He did eventually agree to let me take him to school and I even got some sweet pictures of him.

When we arrived at the school I was so nervous for him, we had a few mintues before his class started so I wasn't sure what we should do or where to go. As we walked onto the school grounds we immediately saw Mason's cousin Corbin (2nd grader). I was so relieved. We said Hi and I watched as Corbin turned to some of his friends and introduced Mason. I wanted to cry (ok I think I did get teary eyed). I had an amazing feeling that everything would be ok and I could rest easy. As he walked into the classroom I was sad that I couldn't follow him but I know he is in good hands.
