For the record, I am not so anxious about Noah starting kindergarten as I am anxious about trusting others to protect him from anything with peanuts in it. It really is all about the life/death allergic reaction that lurks around every corner. What will he do without my Mommy Superpowers to protect him?!
Anyway, I got the boy and his gear to school
and he was ushered into his new classroom
by his adorably sweet teacher, Mrs. Miller - (no picture ... yet) - because she had to hurry back over to a screaming classmate who was CLEARLY not ready to let his momma leave his side. His momma finally did leave and she was all crying, too, which I understand - that's not the way any momma wants her baby's first day of school to go. I'm just so glad my baby was all big boy about it and wasn't a bit flustered. He is gonna do great today. I have no worries for him on that front. He'll rock it.
It's only a half day. It's really mostly for kindergarten testing. But they are eating lunch in the cafeteria ... where mommy's worst fears come to life. :{ I'll be there in no time to pick him up and ask him a million things. Can't wait to hear Noah's take on his first day of school. I bet you anything he won't have much to say ... he'll be in too big a hurry to play his video games. Mark my words.
I don't know why but I'm crying.

I love that that was how the day hit you, Emily. It is really refreshing and honest and totally not needing to be apologized for. Own it!
