First Day of School!

K is off to 2nd grade today and Bubs is off to Kindergarten. My "baby" is now in school! I have 2 school age kids. Where did the last 5 years go!? The more I think about it the more I find it hard to believe. My recollections of school really begin in 2nd grade - and thats where K is. My my teachers, my friends, my love for math, my projects - let it all begin...

Here's the poem that I got from Bubs' Kindergarten teacher.

The First Day
I gave you a little wink and smile
As you entered my room today.
For I know how hard it is to leave
And know your child must stay.
You've been with him for five years now
And have been a loving guide,
But now, alas, the time has come
To leave him at my side.
Just know that as you drive away
And tears down your cheeks may flow
I'll love him as I would my own
And help him learn and grow.
For as a parent, I too know
How quickly the years do pass
And that one day soon it will be my turn
To take my child to class.
So please put your mind at ease
And cry those tears no more
For I will love him and take him in
When you leave him at my door.

Best wishes to my kids for a great school year!

And here's a little proof that they survived their first day! Coming home...
