Yesterday was your first day of kindergarten. When I woke you up for school you were excited and ready for your adventure. As we arrived at school you kept your positive attitude and entered your new world with eagerness. You were a little shy, but still excited. Your new teacher, Mrs. Proach, greeted you by name and you even gave her a hug. Your friend Cambria is in your class (as I requested) so that should make things easier for you. But I think you will quickly make new friends. Daddy even took a day off from work so he could be there for your first day of school. Chloe missed you, but really I think she liked the house to herself a little too. :)
When we picked you up from school Mrs. Proach said you had a good day. You cried a little, but she thought it was because you needed to use the restroom. :) You later told us a boy pushed you down. Overall you said you liked school and that it was fun. We were so glad to hear that. (just a reminder that your 2nd day didn't start out so good, lots of crying when I left you, from both of us) We took you to lunch at Uncle Andy's work to get sandwiches, you were happy!!
You were excited as we left for school...you picked Star Wars for your back pack and lunch box

Christian we are so proud of you!! We know it was a hard day (for all of us), but you did great. When you told us a boy pushed you down we wanted to hunt him down. We talked to you about it and really you seemed to just brush the whole thing off. You are so forgiving, we need to be more like you. As parents we just want to protect you and make sure you are safe at all times. It's hard to be away from you, but we also know that we need to. You have to explore the world for yourself and learn and grow into the amazing man that we know you will be. We love you so, so much and look forward to watching you grow and learn.
xoxo

It is really hard to leave your child in the care of someone you don't know. I do think it is almost harder on us than it is for the kids.
You totally made me cry!! I looked like a crazy aunt reading that post. Christian looked so handsome. I can't wait to hear all about his adventures!! Thanks for the post!
Michelle you got good pictures of Christian’s first day. They are awesome!!
Are camera broke so I just got a few of Chase outside of the school with my cell phone:/
Christian will love reading this in a few years. So will you! What a wonderful way to explain it to him. the pictures are really cool. He looks like a real Kinder!
That first time sending your kid off to school...well really the first time of any grade for me....is hard. You just picture them as the little baby they once were. I think about the day when all my kids will be in school. That's a longs ways off...but still, I wonder what on earth I will do! (maybe have a clean house for a couple hours of the day?)
