out front of the house at 8:30, killing time with a photo opp. He got to bring a bear for support on his first day!
out front of school
We walked in and he went straight to the toys and after a little kiss I left proud with my head held high until I got in the car and my heart sank and I cried. I guess it was a little weird because I have spent 3 years having my job be to know what Henry was doing at all times every day. This was the first time, aside from vacations away from him and an occasional babysitter, that I had taken him somewhere and left. After a call to my Mom and sister I was better and proceeded to give Reese a nap, exercise and shower which was so nice.
Just as I was getting things down I got call from school. My little bug was having a little trouble without Mom but by the time they handed him the phone to say hi he was distracted by a game and that was that. The teacher was great and I was glad she called because I could tell she was just the right person to leave my child with.
Bill and I picked him up together and as we peeked in he was sitting in circle time with his new friends having a great time listening to a story. At one point he even got up and made a happy comment to the teacher which was nice to see. Funny thing is as all the other kids were leaving with their parents Henry was begging to stay! I can understand why because he had made a new buddy who also loves cars and he was covered in paint from a great art project they did.
So a great start to his school experience! He is just so excited to go back and I am excited to. On a side note little Reese missed her brother and wasn't quite sure what to do without her main source of entertainment. Fussiest morning she has ever had!
before she realized Henry was gone!
