first day of school 2010 Aug 11


First day of school- nerves for me :)....spent the day before at school volunteering with PTO and the kids got to run around for about 3 hrs with their friends...what a difference a year makes :) God has been so gracious to us and to me with my anxiety..with a great school, friends and teachers...we know the routine this year which is a nice feeling. Got up early to cook some sausage and biscuits. Dropped off the kids at elementary and I was a little teary watching them go in and headed to
u pre-k with walker. I walked him in and he reachedand grabbed my hand and said " I feel a little shy" ..and then as we are walking in said "why do I have to go to school mommy"...bit the inside of my cheek so I wouldn't cry .ok ready to turn around and run home. and also I had breezily told his teacher "no problem he's my 3rd" when she warned me about "no crying" He did fine and I watched him through the window..no tears from him...held it together until the car and cried all the way home and on/off during the day...watsa matta wid me! They all had a fab day...Coleman talked more than all the previous 4 yrs combined...he got a fab teacher Mr. G who he loves and is excited about, Olivia was mad b/c she had a homework page on the first day, and Walker ....loved it and when we prayed said he like school and on his fave thing of the day said "school" so yay for the first day.
Walker starting pre-k... You are so excited at the end of last yr to start your new school. "my school is boring..i want to go to my new school" He did great....I walked out saying "don't cry" "don't cry". Although he came home "delirious"...i mean coco never seen him so tired and out of it......next a.m....sick and throwing up so maybe it was part tired /part sick. Walker's pray at night "thank you God for da day...i love mommy...mommy is so pretty...haha that is the standard opening ....and then whatever has happened for the day. Walker was so sleepy first a.m....but so excited about his back pack...had any attached pencil holder which he was obsessed with and at the last min. i threw some pencils in b/c he wouldn't be happy until he had something in it..In the garage., the kids say why is water coming out of walker's backpack? Walker had taken a plastic cup and put it in the water bottle holder on the side of the back pack....so sweet.
-these 2 pics crack me up
Caleb's first day was a couple of weeks later......he was excited and the only pictures I got were before we got to the room b/c once we got there Caleb refused to have his pic taken and I mean REFUSED....he said BYe to me and that was that...Ms. Debbie and Ms. Roxie are his teachers. They ask if he is always in such a good mood.
Seriously...get out mom
