Devon’s First Day of Kindergarten

Another sniffle.  I’ve been telling a lot of you—I am not having an easy time with both my boys in school!  Yesterday I cried off and on all day because it just hit me so hard that Carson’s gone for SO LONG every day, and I got a little irritated that the school system just takes your kids all day and gets to see them longer than I do.  Sadness.  I cried after dropping Devon off today, but I can handle Kindergarten a bit better since it’s only 3 hours (not even a full 3).  He was so excited.  But at first he woke up really sad and stressed!  He kept saying he was tired and he needed help so he could be ready in time and not miss breakfast and everything.  I finally was able to calm him down and told him he was going to love it.  He said, “Well, I was crying because I didn’t know what I am going to do at Kindergarten.”  I said, “I’ll bet you will walk out with a big smile on your face and tell me how much you like it.”  And that’s exactly what he did! He said his favorite part of the day was snack time and recess, and that he was the tallest kid in the class.
