jonah's big day

A Second grader and a Kindergartner

This face pretty much sums up his feelings about going to school.  He was a little lot bit nervous and unsure because, as he would tell me, "I've just never been to school before."  But after much encouragement and reminders about getting to go to recess, he was ready.

Let's keep in mind it was early.  Thanks.

We got to the classroom without a hitch.  He remembered where he was supposed to hang his back pack and coat.  I honestly didn't get sad until I came home and looked at this picture.  I don't know how it happened.  I don't know how my boy is now old enough to be in kindergarten.  Where does the time go?  The saying is true, the days are long but the years are short.  I love you, Jonah bear.  I'm so so so proud to be your mom.

He picked out his book and went to sit in the "garden" with the rest of his friends and that's when I left.

When I went to pick him up he came out smiling and running and told me he likes school.  I'm glad, but there will always be a part of me that wishes he would want to stay home with me forever.

After school we made our way to Grandma's.  What's better than to end your first day of school with a ride on your Harley?!

I think he had a great first day.
