another kinder in my garten


it's here:
caleb's first day of kindergarten!


a landmark milestone in my parenting, this is the first time in almost nine years that i will have only one child home with me for the majority of the day (and, as you will see next thursday when dallin starts preschool, a few hours in the week to spend ALL BY MYSELF!)






i managed to not burst into tears (i'm three for three on that one!), but i did make an unplanned stop at the school to check in on him for lunch and recess because i'm a helicopter paranoid mom like that. i mean, i didn't used to be or anything, but i guess it's come to this.

he barely paid me any heed (in his defense, paying heed is not a strong suit), but he eventually looked me square in the eye and voiced the five magic words every mother longs to hear, "why are you here, mom?"



yes, he had a great day.
(don't worry: this is his happy face--he's doing cartwheels on the inside.)

we love you, buddy! kindergarten just got the coolest cat around.
lucky.
