This morning when I went to drop Andrew off, the super excited Kindergartener became pretty clingy and shy. His room was a big cry-fest. There were tears and snotty noses everywhere (parents and kiddos). Andrew did really well, he didn't want me to leave but never broke down and really cried. I was teary eyed several times but didn't break down, either. I stayed in there for about 30 minutes to help soothe other sad, little ones. I just knew I'd want someone soothing my Andrew if I wasn't there so I treated all of them like they were my own.
Last night Andrew and I went and picked out some goodies for his teacher. He was SO excited to give it to her this morning. I took a picture of them together:). She is really sweet and soft spoken. Andrew really likes her a lot. I peaked in his room, thank goodness he's seated by the window, probably 1000 times. He was always happy! My room is right by the playground so I got to watch him while he was out on recess. He saw something he really wanted to do and cut in line to try to do it. He got pushed off that apparatus pretty quickly:). Since he's always been home, he's never really experienced lines and waiting his turn. I think he learned pretty quickly;).
When I went to his classroom after school to get him, I asked him "what was your favorite thing about Kindergarten?" he said, "EVERYTHING"!
Also, THANK YOU to everyone who has been praying for me and Andrew for today! Your prayers definitely helped!

What a big day! I have a huge amount of respect for teachers. They have a big job (at every grade).
Andrew looks so grown up in his pictures. What a proud little boy he is! How did you manage to hold back all the tears? Lots of prayer?
I've really enjoyed reading your kindergarten posts this week. Thanks for sharing your smiles & tears. Andrew is precious! I remember holding him when I was working in the nursery at church, back when I was pregnant with Tristan. My, how time flies!!
