Scott's in Kindergarten!

It's 10:40am, Scott is in kindergarten, Charlotte is in preschool and Trevor is asleep. What do I do with myself??? WOW - so many emotions today...

I guess I'll begin with this... 30 years ago, this was me getting on the bus going to my first day of kindergarten and waving goodbye to my mom.

And now it's my turn to send my oldest off to kindergarten... I understand how my mom probably felt as she took that picture. We arrived at school and Scott hopped out of the car with his sweet Lightning McQueen backpack. Since Scott's classroom is a little further back behind the school gates, his teacher meets the kids out front, lines everyone up, then they walk back to their class together - without parents. Scott was quiet but not hesitant at all about getting in line with the other kids. I didn't think I would be emotional at all, but when Mrs. Cain started walking away with the kids and I just watched Scott and his backpack heading off to school, at that moment I was glad I had my sunglasses on.




We came home, then I took Charlotte off to preschool. She looked lovely today in her Hawaii dress on backwards (technically a nightgown, but don't tell her) and a princess necklace. I did talk her out of the green 'crown' (headband), pink dress-up high heels and black sequin purse. After dropping her off, I can home to a VERY quiet house and just had this cute face to look at:


Then Trevor went down for a nap and it was REALLY quiet! And at that point there were no more tears...
