It’s here. Jack’s first day of elementary school…
Jack will be taking the bus to school two days a week and going to before/aftercare the other three days, so he won’t actually ride the bus for the first time until Friday. Today, I walked him into his before care at the school and signed him in. The assistant director greeted Jack and showed him where to store his backpack until school starts.
I started to lead Jack to an activity table, but he immediately brushed me off and told me to get going to work. I did get a kiss and a hug before he shoved me on my way. I glanced back as I reached the door and saw Jack plop himself down at a table with a similar sized kid, introduce himself and start playing.
Yup, he’s ready.
That’s amazing and gave me a lot of feels. You done good, Mama. You’re DOING good, Mama. <3
I love this so much. He is ready, and he’s going to have a blast.
Oh gosh, I remember my oldest’ first day of kindergarten. He didn’t do preschool, so it was the first time he was away from me. I walked him to school, and as soon as I got home and shut the door I sobbed! Hard to believe he’s a junior this year. I think I’ll cry just as hard when he starts his first day of his senior year. Good luck to Jack! I hope he loves school!
