Anyway, Noah was nervous for months leading up to starting school. He even begged his mom to be homeschooled. We all went to the open house together on Tuesday and got to meet his teacher and everything. He was super shy at first but after his buddy Ethan (a fifth grader and Wyatt's new best friend) showed him the cafeteria and library, Noah was pumped and ran back to his classroom to give the teacher a high-five!
Wyatt was super excited and loved everything about school - especially the independence. Ethan was so sweet and took him around to see everything. Callie, on the other hand, was cautiously optimistic. She said that she really liked it, but was also being pretty reserved. It was tripping me out to see them walking through school hallways and classrooms. They looked way too grown up to me.
Chair for the morning announcements
I don't know what stressed me out so bad about the whole thing (fluorescent lights, chaos, candy), but I started clenching the crap out of my teeth which of course led to the onset of a nasty migraine. I can't imagine the emotional trauma I'm going to put myself through when it's MY kids walking out the door TOGETHER. Maybe I'm borderline co-dependent with them. Anyway, Noah ended up loving his first day of Kindergarten and even went through the lunch line with zero problems. All these kids are getting so big so quickly. It makes me so sad.
