First Day of Kindergarten

2018

He bounded out of his room this morning shouting “KINDERGARTEN DAY! KINDERGARTEN DAY!”
He was dressed before breakfast.
He wrote his name
We measured him.
Then it was time to go.
He insisted we couldn’t run to school because he was wearing a backpack.
He quietly observed while the chaos of getting all the kids into the school on the first day of school unfolded.
He followed Mrs. Lee straight into the classroom, not an ounce of hesitation in him.
Welcome to Kindergarten my sweet Callum. May you have a year of adventure and friendship and the most fun you’ve had yet.

Max clapping for Callum. He is Callum’s biggest fan.

Here’s hoping they indulge me and continue to do this photo every year!

Tomorrow Everything Changes

2018

In the morning our whole world changes.
My heart is flip flopping back and forth to being excited and thrilled and so happy for him, to just being completely emotional about the end of a huge chapter in our lives.
The boy who made me a mom is off to school tomorrow, and his world is going to open up to whole new experiences, new ways of life, new people.
I keep reminding myself we’ve given him the tools to be successful. That he’s a smart boy and he’s so full of love and eagerness he’ll be just fine.
My mom heart keeps praying he’ll find kind friends, he’ll be surrounded by good hearted people, and he’ll love school.
He’s all packed and ready. He asked for peas, cucumbers and carrots as his snack, and he picked out his own outfit.
Tomorrow we wake up with a kindergartner.
