Today is Seth's first day of School! My big ole guy is getting too big. I put the kids to bed alone last night and struggled saying prayers, praying for a great first day of school. I know he loves it, he's been asking for friends to play with (poor guy) and loves to socialize AND learn! I'm so excited too, to have a few hours each week with just Abby - to run errands, clean, and we may even take mommy and me swimming again while he's at school! 
Seth was very excited for his first day. Daddy and he went to get a big boy backpack yesterday - he calls it his camoflauge backpack (I'm not a fan of the grey, black, and blue thing), he picked it out himself. Last night, he got out of bed once which he hasn't done in forever, because I think we got him a little too excited about the whole thing! This morning he got up and got dressed, took pictures with Daddy before he left for work. Unfortunately it's a court day for Daddy so he couldn't stay. We had a good breakfast and then Mimi came over to help get everyone out the door. Of course 15 pictures later we left!
We found his classroom, he picked his cubby out himself, gave his papers to his teacher, foudn his name on the school bus and put it in the basket. Then he went and foudn the fishing game that he played with at his Orientation the other day. I think it's his favorite toy already! I asked for hugs, he gave us all hugs and we pretty much left. He ran and started playing! Couldn't ask for a better drop off...for him. Mommy struggled to hold the tears back for him - like I am now. Abby was sad in the car, but is good now. We came home and she asked to go snuggle in her bed. Couldn't ask for more! Sounds like a perfect idea to me! And thus begins, the next I don't know how many years of "First days of school..."http://www.facebook.com/#!/KGreer5http://www.facebook.com/#!/KGreer5
