First Day of School

img_0243 img_0242This just happened… I sent two of my little men off to school on the school bus.  I am a very sad momma, thankfully I still have one brother home with me!  Big Brother started second grade and Middle Brother kindergarten.  After meeting their teachers on Friday they have been asking me every day when they get to go back to school.  Although the question makes me happy for their eagerness to learn and grow, I can’t help but feel a little sadness in the fact that my babies are growing up.  This picture actually makes them all look way too old.  Middle brother wanted to ride the bus to school and Big Brother was going to make sure that he got to his class alright.  As I stood at the bus stop with my little men, Middle brother had a slight look as he boarded the bus of anxiety.  As I watched the bus pull away my mommy heart was made happy as I saw Big Brother sitting right next to Middle Brother.  As the bus headed around the corner I felt my stomach do some little flip flops, hoping and praying that Middle Brother loved his first day of school.
I can happily and proudly say that as I picked up Middle Brother at 11:20 today that he had a grin from ear to ear.  As he walked out of his classroom he was holding the hand of a little boy and as they each say their moms they ran.  As Middle brother came to me he said that he made a new friend and that he LOVED his teacher.  Middle brother informed me that he had some naughty boys in his class and his teacher did not yell even once, she just used her nice inside voice the whole time. Hearing that Middle Brother loved school so much made me so happy and proud, there is a sense of confidence that he gained in just one day, can’t wait to see what this year brings him!
Big Brother said that he had a great first day too.  He is not a young man of many words so I have told him that until he starts telling me stuff on his own I am going to ask him two questions… What was the best part of your day and what did you like the least about your day?  So today he told me that the best part of his day was that he got to play basketball at recess and the worst part was that he had to come back home so soon.  Well, what can I say, I am trying to get him to communicate!  We will work on it!
