Today is a BIG day for AJ! It's the first day of Kindergarten! He is so ready! On Monday we had a "practice recess" where we met his teacher and classmates and saw his classroom. He also got to play on the playground with his new friends while we met the teacher and went over some information. I think this was very helpful because it made today a much easier transition.
His teacher is Mrs. Hayden and she is AMAZING. She's funny, quirky, full of energy and so fun. I'm thrilled that she's AJ's teacher. She calls the kids her "little friends" which I think is adorable.
I wasn't sure how today was going to go. Honestly, I was more worried about how I would be, sad as that is. I expected to be an emotional wreck, as I was already emotional on Monday's practice recess! But it went great! I met AJ and Jason in the parking lot and he was all dressed in his uniform with his cool Star Wars backpack on. He wasn't nervous one bit! Seeing him brought a tear to my eyes, but I pulled it together quickly. I made him a little card he could keep in his pocket in case he got scared or missed me. We took some pictures, and walked in. He found the place to hang his backpack and then we took a few more pics, said hi to his teacher and then he sat down with his friends and listened to the teachers aide read books. He gave us hugs and kisses and that was that! He was champ!
Tonight we'll take him out to dinner to celebrate. I can't wait to hear about how his day goes! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of this guy!
