Hardest day of my life!

Zander had his First Day of

Kindergarten today and I have

to tell you it really was the hardest

day of my life! I never thought

I would be one of those mom's who

got all emotional about stuff like that. Even

after two years of preschool, I never got that

way. I was fine all the way up until we

started driving up the street of the

elementary school. Then it hit me like

a ton of bricks! I was seriously choking

back the tears. Obviously I couldn't

cry in front of Zander or he would

be freaked out and wouldn't want

to get our of the car. Plus I didn't want

to look like a lunatic in front of all those

other parents. So I did my best to hide

behind my sunglasses and I was so proud

of him. As we were driving up the street

he said, "I'm going to miss you mom." I said,

"I'm going to miss you too, but your going to have

a great first day." I think he could sense I was

a little distrought, so he said "Don't worry mom,

I know where to go." I let him out and had to drive

away. Ya I admit it, I was a big baby, but I really

had no idea it was going to be that hard to let him go.

His new Teacher Ms. Neslen (the sun was right

in his eyes, thats why the weird look on his face)

His first day of kindergarten was actually

on Tuesday, but I went with him so it wasn't

really real. He had a treasure hunt to kind of introduce

him to his new classroom and Teacher. He had

to find places around the classroom on his

map and do different activities. He had lots of fun!

Taggart doesn't start preschool until

next month, so he was a little jealous

that Zander got a pirate hat and an

eye patch, so he wanted me to take his

picture too.

Calista wanted in on the picture action, so

I took her picture too.
