Hi all.

I took my son to his first K-day today where he meets the teacher, the other kids in his class and does a project, etc. OMG!!!! It was one of the best days of my life to share this very special day with him, but at the same time it brought tears to my eyes. He will be leaving me everyday, starting school, growing up just so fast.

Any of you going thru this now? Or remember when your kids first started school? Want to share your feelings?

When I went to the classroom to pick him up, he said a loud "Mommy". I could tell he was so proud of himself. He handed me his project. He had made me a sunflower from ratted paper he had cut on his own. It was wet and sticky from glue and the petals were all smooshed together on one side. THAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWER I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! Made with love, innocence, and just plain happiness.
Today was a good day!

Another milestone...maybe scrapbook those first couple days. My memory fails me from years ago, but I am certain that it was scarey for me. The children seem easily distracted enough with crafts, games, and meeting other kids.

Good luck, try not to cry like I did!

My last two to start school were my twins (they're freshmen now), it was very hard for them to be separated, but the school insisted, wanted them to each have their own identity and friends, I think it was because they couldn't tell them apart. They had recess together and played together with the same kids anyway, after recess they'd give each other a hug until they saw each other after school. It was very sweet. After K they were together until they were in Jr. High. I decided that they'd decided when they were ready to split up.

Congrats on this rite of passages. The one really great thing about this school was they took pictures of the kids at least once a month to document their changes. Walking in at the end of the year and seeing those baby faces when they started... they looked so grown up at the end of the year.
