Eli has been going to school on some level since he was 2. Today he officially starts Kindergarten. For a mom that has had her kids in some kind of school (even Plano schools) for years now, I was surprisingly emotional.
Eli did great! He walked quietly into the room and headed straight for his locker without prompting. After he had his backpack in the locker, the teacher asked him to go back and get his lunch box and put it in a basket. He silently complied. All the parents and students were extremely quiet. I sat him down at a table to color. After we took a thousand photos and a video we left quietly. I’m pretty sure Eli even told us to leave once or twice!
I must say I’ve been spoiled. Up to this point I really didn’t care if school went perfect as long as Eli enjoyed it. His years at Beaty were relatively enjoyable. I always felt he was safe and happy there. I didn’t have any qualms taking him to my mom’s kindergarten class. I’ve seen her teach for years and know exactly what to expect. This morning was different. I dropped him off to a class that I want him to enjoy and be successful in. I think Mrs. Fromhold will be a great teacher and the kids look really sweet, but I’m still nervous.
Jaxon was quite upset that he didn’t get to go to school today. He had his backpack and was ready. He starts in a week which he feels is SOOOO long from now. Eli was measured a couple of times recently and he is officially 51.5 inches or over 4’3”. Another update and potentially weepy day for me next Monday as Jaxon starts mom’s kindergarten class. This pregnancy is turning me into a wuss!!!
