As so many others of you were going through the same experiences today, I found myself driving to a school that was strangely familiar and completely foreign to me, all at the same time. Today was Brooks' first day of Kingergarten. I had told him ahead of time that he may see other children crying. I also told him that he may see his mommy cry, and that I wasn't sad because he was going to school, but that it made me feel old. ( I didn't want to do anything that would make him not want to go to school.) He so sweetly said, "Mommy, you don't look old." Honestly, I did a lot better than I thought I would. The only time that I almost broke down, was when we got inside and Brooks said, "Bye Mom. I'll see you later." I wasn't ready to go yet, but we left.
He had a wonderful day. He told me of all the things he got to do and see, and I think it is going to be a wonderful year.

Have a great year baby!

What a great day! I'm sure you did great - I'm SO not ready for Kate's first day... :) Did you get a glimpse of Allison's blog?
I'm so glad that he had a great first day. You got some great pictures.
I love the picture of him walking with Brent...very sweet!
It helps when the teacher is so sweet! I am glad he enjoyed his day. Letting go is so hard! One day we will all be writing about them driving and going to college. Time goes too quickly!
Glad the first day went well! He's such a big boy and will really thrive at school!
I'm so glad he was so excited! That makes things easier! Glad you did well too!!
That's so neat he has Monica! I don't really miss Montgomery, but I would like my boys to go to ACA. I miss that they won't.
