Samuel started Kindergarten today. He was so cute this morning. He could hardly wait to leave for school. He came into my room at 7:10 and said, "Mommy, it's 7:10. That's when you said I could get up for school so I'm up." He ate a great breakfast, got dressed and had his backpack on ten minutes before it was time to leave. I did great--no tears! ha! I did get a little misty eyed watching him getting ready in my bathroom. He looked like such a big boy brushing his teeth and fixing his hair. It is hard to believe he is six already! Wow! Seems like yesterday we were coming home from the hospital with him as a newborn and were trying to learn how to give him a bath and change diapers! Before he left for school he and I were talking and he said, "Mommy, do they have bathrooms at school? " I said, "Yes". He was so serious and replied, "That's good." Oh me..so cute! Eric took him to school today and Eric said he did great when they arrived. He hopped right out at carpool and said "Bye, Daddy" with a big smile.
He rode the bus home this afternoon which was a HUGE deal to him. He could hardly wait to do that! He told me all about his day. It was so cute to hear! The funniest thing he told me was about lunch. I asked him what he ate for lunch at school and asked if the food was good. He said, "Mommy that lunch was really good today. I liked it." Then he said, "Are we going out to dinner tonight or are you coking?" I said, "Mommy is cooking spaghetti." He said, "Oh, I wanted to go out. But that's ok, because I got to eat lunch out today--at school. You know that means I get to eat lunch out everyday. So, I'll need you to keep sending money so I can keep doing that. " He said riding the bus was his favorite part of the day.
I am so excited that he enjoyed it and had a great experience! Mommy has been praying for this day for a long time! :)
