Daily Diary – August 24 2010

And here we are. First day of school. Little boy went without any fuss. And even with a bunch of excitement.

I tried to grab some photos but he faked the smiles. He wanted to play in the playground.

He even made a new friend immediately. Within minutes they were playing, holding hands, and laughing together.

And then it was time for him to go in. He went in, picked his name and that was that for me. We went to another room where I signed up to volunteer for a collection of events and then came back home.

The little boy took a nap and played legos to his heart’s content.

And walked around and got into mischief as usual.

And then we all went up to get David who was happy to see us but said had the best first day of school ever! Tomorrow he gets on the bus for the first time, another source of anxiety for mommy. There have been too many lately. I just tell myself to get through this week and that things will get smoother. They will, right?

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that David loved his first day. So grateful that he feels happy and like he belongs.
2. I am grateful that Jake was here with us and helped me and was there every step along the way.
3. I am grateful that I have a flexible enough job that I was able to be there today and will be able to be involved and help out in his class. I am really thankful for that.

Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. my first day of school.
2. getting my new markers.
3. daddy.

    Briefly here because I’m running out the door to work but he will likely forget his lunch box on numerous occasions – I suggest getting a second one for those days. No biggie. And the school bus driver will not let him off at any stop other than his own. It won’t take him/her too long to get to know the kids and where they get on and off. Hurray for routines! Bring ’em on, I say even though I sound contradictory in admitting I have loved our unscheduled time this summer. It’s all good!
