Joey started Kindergarten today! It still seems a bit unreal to me. I suppose, through the repetition of school days, reality will settle in soon enough. Boy, was he excited to go! He was sleeping on the floor in our room last night, and when he woke up, he popped his head up and said, "I know it's my school day today!"I survived our first "drop-off." We arrived at the school a bit early, so I took a few minutes to pray with the boys in the car. I started getting teary-eyed just a bit, but was able to reign it in. Of course, it was difficult for anyone to hear my prayer as Nick was screaming the whole time.
Yes, it was my middle son who had the hardest time. From the minute I started putting shoes on, till several minutes after we got home, Nick was screaming, "Me want Bubba!" As we walked Joey to his classroom, and as we walked back to our car, everyone passing us gave us looks of sympathy for the little brother being left behind. We tried calling Daddy at work to see if hearing his voice would calm Nick down, but Daddy was in a meeting.
When we got in the house, I took Nick in my arms to snuggle for a minute. I offered to let him call someone else since Daddy couldn't talk. He chose Grandma Mary. So we got to talk to Grandma Mary at work for a few minutes, making her day in the process.
The good news is, that after getting the kids home, it was time to put them down for a nap. I told Nick, that when he woke up, it would be time to pick Bubba up. In fact, he is just waking up now, and I was afraid I would have to wake him up. As he came out of his room, he asked, "Bubba home yet?" He is currently helping me type, which makes it quite difficult.
Now it is time to wake Ethan up and get buckled in the car. I can't wait to hear about Joey's day! I'll blog about it when we get home. Have a great day.
