I took him to school this morning and could tell that he was a little nervous. I was helping him unload his backpack and notice that his hands were shaking. I asked him if he was okay and he said "Mom, I've got this. I'm going to have a great day." So hesitantly I left him, my seven year old all alone in a big new school, full of strangers and let me tell you it was so hard. Isn't it supposed to get easier the older they get?
After our very trying year last year I have been praying that he would have a better experience here and I don't think I have been so nervous all day or prayed so hard as I did today. So 3:00 finally came and I see him coming toward me with the biggest grin on his face. I asked him how it was and he said "It was awesome!" Thank goodness! I am so relieved. He made friends, said his teacher is cool, was even sad that they only had a book to read for homework and he can't wait till tomorrow. So the first day was a success, now we just have to hope that the "awesomeness" will continue for the whole year!!!

Yeah, I don't think it gets easier. For them maybe, moms, no. I can't believe how big he is! Wow!He is very handsome!
Yay!!! I am so glad! I don't know what happened last year, but I do know that recovering and reattempting school like that can be hard. Hoping for a good year for you all, too!
What a relief. I hate having to let them grown up without help from me. I'm glad that Kody had such an awesome day!! Some of my favorite teachers were males, they are just cool.
Oh good! I hope it works out. I would be so nervous that looks like a huge school! I think a male teacher will help out. Good luck.
With a teacher named Springsteen, how could the day be anything but awesome?! I'm so glad Kody had a great first day.
