WE DID IT!

We did it! We survived our first day of school with flying colors!!! We started out the morning with pictures on the front porch (just as Tol and I did as kids) which didnt turn out like I had hoped but his little backpack (or "pickpack" as he calls it) was weighing him down!

He loves his new lunch box and carried in and out of school! :)

I, unfortunately, didn't get any pictures at school. It was so crowded and chatoic and I was in no mood to try to take them! The entire way to school he kept saying "GO... "Soooool" ,meaning go to school, then he would say "Peacha's..... Ambo" which means his TEACHER is Miss Amber! hahah! The other Teachers name is Miss Katrina, I dont think he'll be saying that one anytime soon.

Anyways, we get to school and his friend, Nate, pulls up beside him and he's so excited! Both boys basically run in the building excited to play! We get to his room and I have the biggest lump in my throat and pounding sensation in my chest and a clouded view of his room! We get to the door, he RUNS in with a huge grin on his face and goes right to the toys (baby doll) that he played with at Open House. His Teachers looked at me and sd "Ok, thats it", I sd "Oh.. I leave now, sorry". I go give Grant a hug and a kiss and reassure him that I will be back to get him. He could CARE LESS! He was so happy! Franklin and I left and I was so happy he wasnt upset. I went to the lobby, shed a few tears and then left with Emily to go meet Casey for a "BooHoo Brunch"!

After brunch, I ran home to pick up a few things, and then left again for some errands. I got home about 45 minutes until time to pick him up and by this time I was about to go stir crazy! The house was quiet, I missed him terribly, couldnt stop thinking about if he napped, did he cry, did he miss me, and was he good? We have to pick them up by 2:30 and I was in the parking lot at 2:08 and was in the building at 2:10, I couldn't take it any longer. His door was shut so I peaked through the window and saw him laughing and playing! I opened the door and he yelled "Mommy" and ran up to me! That might have been the best hug EVER! I asked his teachers "Well... how did it go" and they sd "He did AWESOME"! Apparently he never once cried, although they sd he whimpered "Mommy" a few times. She told me he was such a good boy, and ate a good lunch! Then came the long awaited question... "DId he nap on his mat"... HE DID!!!!!!!!!!! She sd it was a little bit of a struggle to get him to be still but he napped for about 45 minutes, which was way beyond what I expected! HALLELUJAH we survived our 1st day! I got home to find his "report" in his folder and their activities of the day!

They studied the letter "A" and here was the picture he colored!

I dont know if you can read it, but this is the report I got! I LOVE IT!

For a job well done, he got an icecream cone! :)

I will say, he was absolutely exhausted yesterday afternoon and was in bed asleep at 7:30! Next Tuesday will be a much easier transition for us both!
