First Day of Kindergarten

Colton started Kindergarten on Monday. I knew this day was coming, however, the night before I dreaded the fact my little boy was going to the "BIG SCHOOL". As I put Colton to bed the night before, I read him my favorite book, "Love You Forever". As I read the book, it took everything I had not to start crying. But luckily I got threw it, and off to bed we went. The morning came and it went off to a great start. Woke him up, made him breakfast, got him ready, then off to school we went. I wasn't sure who was more nervous, Colton or I. The school was amazing. There were balloons up, music playing, and a lot of smiling teachers out. After a ton of pictures (other moms had my same idea) we finally entered the classroom. The teacher called over all the kids to read, "Twas the night before Kindergarten". Then it was time to say our goodbyes. As I fought back my tears, I noticed my little guy looked sad. I asked him what was wrong, and he said.........."I don't have any friends". Any mom knows that after hearing that, your heart melts, your stomach turns, and all you want to do is cry with him. But I comforted him & reassured him that everything will be ok, and you will make new friends. After leaving the school I cried and that was probably the hardest thing I have had to do so far. I didn't get much work done that day, I just watched the clock and wanted it to be 3pm. I was waiting there when school let out and was so excited to hug all over him. He said the day was good and that he liked his teacher. YIPPEE!!!! Getting thru the first day was very draining to me, but I know that as the days go by, it will become a lot easier for me to see my baby grow up......
