Nathan is officially a school kid. He stared his first day of kindergarten a couple of days ago. I did not get any pictures because it was a complete zoo. In all the madness of trying to find parking and kids running around everywhere I tell Nathan that I am going to park down the block and we will just walk to his class. That is where he tells me that it's no big deal and I should just drop him off!!! Drop him off!! He then proceeds to bail out of the car and heads for the school building. I park my car, letting all the cars behind me pile up and yell out to Nathan "do you remember your way to the classroom, do you remember your classroom number do you remember you teacher's name"? Nathan turns to me and I so wish I had my camera because the look on his face was priceless and he puts his hand out and says "mom I got it". Of course I had to make sure he made it to his classroom alright. I finally get a parking spot and I make it to the door when a mom of one of his classmates comes out and tells me Nate just walked in like he knew what he was doing and that I was so lucky that he was so outgoing and independent. I did not feel lucky I just wanted to cry that my little boy seems to need me less and less. Then today, his 3rd day of school, I unexpectedly received his tears, as I walked away he said mom I am going to be sad without you today. I was about to snatch him up and kiss his face a million times but one of his school buddies came over and off they ran leaving me standing there feeling sad without him today!
Just arrived at school and he is feeling pretty good
We are getting ready to head for his class room and he starts to get nervous
The saddest picture, he is trying to smile and not cry at the same time.

Sounds like an exciting week of school! The fact that he was ready to go into school on his own shows that you've prepared him to be a confident little boy.
Ahhh . . . you got me all choked up! So happy you started this blog - I love all your writings! I can't wait to hear more stories of Nate's adventures in School! He's a great kid! Love ya!
Hey! Your blog looks great! How did you find me anyway? Okay so who is your husband? He looks so familiar, did he go to Buhl? I really don't know too much about the template things. I have so much going on and I post so much that I haven't had time to figure it out. I actually tried one time and it took me like 2 hours to do and then it didn't even work so I was so mad I gave up. The one on mine is just in the templates already. I kow there are a couple of sites that give you free ones though. I'll have to figure out the names of them. I'm glad you found me so we can stay in touch! Jana
