Connor's First Day of Kindergarten

Connor all ready for bed the night before school...
Can't live without brown bear...
He knows he's cute....
Posing GQ style in front of his classroom...
Sitting down to color as we were leaving him...

I know several of you moms out there know what I have been feeling with my baby starting school. It's such a bittersweet time, when you want them to be your baby forever, but you know that they have to grow up too, because that's part of life. I actually did not shed any tears after leaving him in his classroom. My tears were shed after kissing him good night the night before. He was so happy and excited to be going to "big school". I am happy for him, but it seems like just yesterday that I was holding him in my arms after he came into my life, and changing it forever. I love him so much, I hope he knows. His teacher said this morning, "look how many people here love you", and I thought it was so sweet. I know she will love him as she gets to know him better throughout the coming school year...His personality is just one of his many traits that people love about him. When I picked him up from school, he was visibly tired. I ask him how his day was, he nodded and said fine, (all while sucking his thumb, and holding brown bear), I ask him what he ate for lunch, and I can't remember what I ask him next, but he said to me, "Mama I don't feel like talking about it right now, i'll talk to you about it in the morning". I laughed and simply said ok. Well, later on this evening, I tried to talk to him again about it. I ask him to tell me one thing about his day. He looked at me, and said "we colored". I said, well, I know that Connor, you were coloring when I left you today". He said, "mama, you said to tell you one thing, and I did". I just left it at that. LOL. He is hilarious!! Hope you all can relate to this post. Have a great day! Kelli
