My Baby's in Kindergarten

I'd been dreading this day all summer - the day my baby went to kindergarten. All summer long, I found myself thinking, "Have I taught him enough? Have I made sure he's ready to handle these new situations on his own? How on earth is he old enough?" I'll be honest, I tried not to think about it too much. But, ready or not, the day came.
Connor was so excited to start. He asked me every morning for weeks how many more days he had until school started. When we arrived at the school and started taking pictures, he just seemed annoyed that we were delaying his entry into the school.

We went to Red Robin to celebrate. Connor was apparently done with pictures for the day, because this is what he kept doing any time he saw the camera.

I thought the day would be emotional. I had Kleenex in my purse, knowing I was going to cry. I tend to be on the weepy side anyway, and pregnancy certainly doesn't help! However, it was hard to be sad seeing how excited he was to go. He loves school. If we go run errands in the morning, he's constantly making sure that we're going to be back in time for him to make it to school. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he loves school. But, I wish he miss me just a little. ;)

He's growing up! Maybe once the baby comes you'll be thrilled to have Connor staying busy. I'm jealous you're so close to delivering.
