Just doing a quick post about that new milestone Kindergarten that we hit yesterday. I feel like there won't be another major milestone for a while now, though we do have sports leagues and games to look forward to, which gets me excited.
Despite every mother's hesitation to let their baby go, we couldn't be more thrilled for the school we decided on. We've had nothing but pleasant experiences during the enrollment process and the communication about everything has been wonderful. Teachers are very kind and helpful, administration puts my mind at ease, and I already have a weird obsession with the school colors. Fall scarves anyone?
I definitely never imagined we'd actually go through with sending him to a private school. I mean I'd hoped for it, but never thought it was truly in the cards for us to do it until the time to enroll him became a reality. I give a lot of credit to Isaac for putting away a ton of savings behind the scenes to allow for this opportunity. I'm not confident we can do this every year, but I hope God will provide so that we can.
The first day was not as rough as I thought it would be. It was actually quite pleasant, despite my melting heart. Levi couldn't wait to go and meet everyone and start learning even though he was the only one who didn't bring a backpack ... #epicmomfail. I still stand by my point that the teacher said they didn't need one on the first day! Oh well...
We took our morning pictures on the front stoop, combed his hair and brushed his teeth, got his uniform on, and headed out.
Everyone met in the gym for an orientation and the kids were dismissed. The parents stuck around for a few hours to hear some presentations and then the day was done.
I have no idea how to do this chapter of life. This will be all new to us, just like bringing him home from the hospital was. Though oddly, this phase seems like it will be harder. And I am so hard on MYSELF trying to cross all the t's and dot all the i's with making sure all is in place.
What happened on his first day (I didn't tell you my fail of picking him up late from class) was a reminder that I'm just a mom trying to make it and figure this thing out like everyone else. Forget the t's and i's, it's survival mode now!
God is really good to us. And we made it! Thankful for His grace.
Here are a few pics of the day. Gosh I love this kid! And to the title's point, yes, Isaac is doing his happy dance because on his days off now he will have a whole day to himself. The house better be spic n' span then, I'm just sayin'!
