My alarm went off at 6am......Today was the day my baby was starting part time Kindergarten. I decided we should take him to school as a family the first day. How could this 7lb 12oz baby be old enough to go to school? I thought about all the "firsts" I had with him...First time I had ever been pregnant...First time I'd ever been in labor...First time I held a screaming in my arms all night b/c of an ear infection and not getting a wink of sleep....First time I watched one of my children sit up, crawl, walk, talk....And now another first-First one to go to school.
That morning Cole gave me the best information anyone possibly could have. Teasing around with him I asked, "Cole are you sure you don't want to stay home with Mommy today?" Cole looks at me & without even skipping a beat he says, "No Mommy, I HAVE to try it." You are right little man, you have to try it :)
A friend of mine's little boy also was starting school this year and posted a quote to facebook and it has now become one of my favorites.
"Good parents give their children roots and wings. Roots to know where home is, wings to fly away and exercise what's been taught them"
He is loving school! He has really gotten into soccer at recess with some of the other boys! He is learning all his letters and is copying EVERYTHING at home. (He copied a Christmas card word for word :) If your interested, here is a link to his Kindergarten class' blog! You can see what they are doing & learning...You can also check out pictures :)
I absolutely love that quote. And I now want to update my blog.
