So, Today was Gage and Brooklyn's first day of kindergarten. I can't believe how much my babies have grown up. Watching those 2 little people get onto that big school bus made my heart feel so heavy. I knew that they were going to be just fine, because they had each other. I don't know that I could have been that strong if it was only one of them.
We have been to their school several times in preparation for kindergarten as well as having attended a few church services that are held there, so I also felt confident that the kids were fairly comfortable with the school itself. The last time we were at their school I gave them one last run through of how to get to their classrooms from the front door. When they got home I had to have every detail of how their first day was and how they did in this new world. I asked if they found their classrooms okay and Brooklyn informed me that they did not enter the school through the front door. They came in through the side door. Uh-Oh! They had big smiles on thier faces as they told me that they walked inside and the hall they were supposed to turn down was not there. Gage said, "The principal asked if we needed any help and I told him "No, we can find it."" I asked, "Were you scared?" and Brooklyn says "NO!" I just picture these 2 little kids in some place like NYC and saying they don't need help! I know it's really not that drastic, but that's how it feels! I had it pointed out to me that I should feel very proud that I must have done something right for my kids to feel so secure and confident. I do!I am so blessed to have all of my children and there is no time like their first day of kindergarten to make you realize how fast time goes by and to cherish all the time you have with them.
