First Day of School!

Yesterday was Arlo's first day of Kindergarten and I don't know who was more excited,
me or him! He got up bright and early, got dressed himself, ate breakfast,
brushed his teeth, put his magnets up on his "to do" list, and declared he was ready.
When I dropped him off, he didn't even hesitate and ran right into his classroom,
sat next to his name and pulled out a picture he colored for his new teacher the night before.
He was so proud to give it to her (my little boy, the brown noser!).
It was a very weird, yet pleasant, quiet day for me.
It was nice to spend some quality time with just Cache and Cam.
I did miss Arlo as the day went on and I couldn't wait to pick him up and hear about his day.
I was waiting for him 20 minutes early!! When he loaded up in the car
he couldn't stop talking about his new friends, what he ate for lunch,
and the games he played at school. He's going to love it!!
(Me too! Does that make me a bad mom? I couldn't understand why all the
other moms were crying when they dropped off their kids.)
