"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Jack's First Day of Kindergarten!

JACK'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!
Jack got to go to school by himself for the first time today!  What a huge deal that was!!  He was so excited, got ready so fast, had his backpack on long before we needed to go :).  It was adorable!  He was just so content and ready to go.  We dropped Charity off at her school, ran home to get the camera, and then parked to walk Jack up to the door.  Everyone hugged him goodbye and then we waited :).  Waiting to go to school was hard for Jack!  He was so anxious!  I snapped a couple of pictures before my camera died, then tried to get a video of him walking in, but completely missed it!!  He didn't even look back- he was so ready!!  I was sad that I missed it, but glad that he was happy to go.  When I picked him up he was so happy!  Got to hold the door open for everyone.  Then came over and wanted to show me and Molly his gingerbread man he had colored and cut out.  It was cute to watch him unzip his backpack and be all big-kid-like.  He sure felt awesome.  He was trying to remember the song that they sing to get ready to listen, but we both couldn't remember it.  We'll have to work on that :).  I think he had a successful first day.  On the way home I asked him if he made any friends and he said just the girl who had laughed at his funny joke :).  I asked him if she was cute and he paused before saying a quick, "yes".  HA!  Love it!  I just can't believe my baby boy is a school kid!!  I was in a funk all day.  Hopefully Molly and I get used to this.  And hopefully Jack continues to enjoy school as much as he liked his first day.  8-29-17
