The cutest thing was the day before school started I happened to look out the window and Jordan was outside snuggling and talking to his cutie wootie (Black Jack). I heard him saying "Now Black Jack, things are going to change around here tomorrow cause I am going to school all day. I won't be here all day with you but you can keep mom company while I'm gone. Don't be too sad Black Jack, it will be alright! I'll see you when I get home every day." It was so stinkin cute and brought a tear to my eye! Things did change around here today.
There's a whole new world out there for Jordan to
take on and he is more than ready for it!
Jordan waiting in line for the bell to ring. I think he is wondering
why this girl is standing so close to him!
I wasn't going to go into the school when the bell rang because he didn't really need me to. I never walked my other kids into their classrooms on the first day of school but I found myself following the line up of kids. I must admit I had a bit of a hard time letting go. I am so thankful I have independent children but today I guess I was wishing that Jordan needed me just a little bit! He marched right into his classroom, put his indoor shoes on and found his coat hook with his name on it.
He knew exactly what to do. He spotted his name on his desk
and sat right down ready for business.
As I left the classroom he turned around to wave to me and that is when the tears started. Not for Jordan, but for me! It is a bitter sweet day to see your baby wave good bye to you as he starts his journey at school. I'm so excited for him and all the fun times he will have at school but it is going to be an adjustment for me not having my little buddy with me 24/7. The house was quiet and Black Jack kept me company. I think as a mom you look forward to the day when all the kids are gone to school and the house is quiet but when that day actually comes (for me anyways) it is a little more bitter than sweet!
