August 27, 2007 - Today was a major milestone for our family - Colby started Kindergarten! The last few weeks I have been so nervous! I wasn't sad for Colby, I was actually happy that he would be exposed to new and exciting adventures. But, I was sad for myself - my baby was growing up! Colby got up early (in time to be at school by 7:40am!) and quickly was dressed with backpack on! Mike, Holden, Colby and I drove to his school so that we could walk him to his class. Colby walked in like he had been doing this for years!!! We were so proud!
I had been dreading the first day of school because I was so scared of crying! I must admit that I did tear up but no water works! The person that it was the hardest on was Holden. Even though she and Colby have only been going to the same school for the last 5 months, I think she had really grown to like seeing him out on the playground and during the day. She cried when we left him but you can see by the pictures that she gave him lots of hugs, kisses, and advice for his first day!
When I picked him up from Kids Klub (an after school program) he reported that he had a "great" day and was ready to go back. He learned a couple of new songs and was very impressed with all the fun things that Ms. Gore taught them. Playing basketball on the playground with friends was also another favorite activity from his first day. Let's hope the rest of the year is this much fun!
