Owen's First Day of School
Owen started the 3-year-old Special Ed program today! He rode the bus with out any problems and was excited to sit by his friend Joe. I had a lot of first day jitters. I kept waking up last night wondering if he would be ok. (Owen slept fine.) Did he understand that he would actually be going to school? And that Mommy was staying home? We went over it many times with drawings and everything. Now that he is off at school I have to stop watching the clock. I even set an alarm on my phone to remind me to go to the bus stop, you know just in case I forgot as I pace the house. I know I need to chill out. I'll be fine as soon as I know that he was fine and that he wants to go back, he will have to even if he doesn't want to. This is a big step for the both of us. As a mom you are constantly caring, protecting, soothing and loving them and then you have to let them do big stuff like this on their own. It's the right thing to do, it's for him, but it's still tough to let go just a little and trust other people to take over for a few hours. I love you Owey! See you at 2:30.

I totally am feeling the same way. Even though Logan went to preschool last year it was only 2 days a week for 4 hrs. This everyday all day is hard. That's on of the hard things about being a same at home mom, letting go. But we will be fine and they will be better then fine, I'm sure!!!
You are so cute April! I know I would be a wreck too! Look how dang cute Owen is with his back pack :)
I love you April. lol :) Sending Millie to Preschool was WAY harder for me than K. I cried after I dropped her off and the week prior to her going.
I love his "deer" shirt. He is a doll. Does he go every day?
Yeah! Go Owey! What a BIG BOY! And you too April! Good Job getting through the day! I cried when Mya's bus pulled off last year, remember?
He is a doll! You are wonderful! I am excited to hear how he likes it.
