So today marks a moment I won't forget. Now it's not the first day of kindergarden but a first day of pre K. To a 4 (almost 5!) year old thats never been to a single day of day care. Even never been watched by someone other than close family or friends. This day is a very big day!
When we were getting around this morning he was ready to go. When we showed up and were waiting in line at the school he was getting pretty nervous. Stuck like glue to Daddy's arm. He complained of tingling fingers! As soon as we got to his room he didn't want to let go of us. They had blank coloring pages on the tables and boxes of crayons for the kids to color. But Kaden said, " I don't want to color." lol He said he didn't want to sit there and color like all the other kids. He complained about everything trying to find an excuse to not stay alone. For example, "I don't want to color.... I don't have any crayons..... I don't have the right color..... I want Dawson to have these...." LOL He is sucha funny kid! At the end of it another lil boy was having trouble sort of sad to see his parents go and the teacher came and sat down between them. All of a sudden everything was ok!
He began to lighten up a bit. Started to color and was ready for us to go. He said good bye and as we were leaving he ran to us to give us a great big thank you hug! He had a glow on his face, he was READY!
As we left he laughed and waved at us through the window. I am so glad he let go or I might have just ended up taking him home. I will try to get my cable tomorrow night in Indy and post some pictures!
