First day of JK

First day of JK was Sept 8th.  His school has them going for a full day (8:40am-3pm) so lunch (Bolonga is a FAV right now) and snacks (peanut free of course) were packed in this HUGE backpack.  Took up half the bag!  He did so well.  Didn't cry at all, waved bye and blew us some kisses and off he went into class.  He was tired when he came home afterwards.  2nd day on Sept 10th didn't start off so well.  Cried when he went in.  Think he cried cause when they brought out the toys for the kids to play with he didn't get a chance to play with them, they were told to go inside.  Oh well, he got over it and said he had a awsome time in 'big boy school'.  He keeps asking to go everyday.  Know that won't last long, when he's in older grades I'll have to remind him that he wanted to go everyday :)

Now for myself, JK has been a bitter sweet time.  Loving the free time that I have, getting lots done around the house.  But feeling a bit guilty as well that I am enjoying it.  Hubby and I went out for lunch and ice cream yesterday, by ourselves.  Rare for us :)  I found myself going to open the side door of the van for Kiddo, but he's not there.  They are so much a part of your everyday life for 4 years then poof, they are gone.  I know he's not gone, like college bound or anything, but when you become a parent it's a whole new bunch of feelings come out of you.  I wonder how my parents did it with 3 of us!  I'd go crazy! LOL  Kudos to my parents!!!!  I think I'll enjoy JK just as much as he does.

Best Wishes
