We had our big first day of school for the older three kids last week, but Solly’s school didn’t start until today. I was hopeful that it would go smoothly, as he has been talking about his first day for a while now, seemingly excitedly anticipating it!
Solly lives in shorts, but he opted for pants today, so weirdly, that suggested to me that he felt more serious about the day. More “business.” I liked it. He picked a grey tshirt, and I zipped him into a yellow hoodie. Boom. Ready.
He ate breakfast quickly, and packed his lunch into his backpack, filled his water bottles, and organized his masks and such all without complaint. He was SO happy!
Too bad it was so sunny out for pictures 😆☀️
We all walked to school together, as we do for a while at least. Especially with a kindergartener, we want everyone to know where to go and when. Solly lagged a little under his heavy backpack full of supplies, but when I told him it was ONLY for today, and it would be so much lighter after today, he was completely fine.
I am SO happy to tell you that Solomon’s confidence did not wane, and he arrived at his door completely gung ho! There was a cute little crowd of children waiting with their teacher outside the door. Our family hadn’t been able to go to the classroom walk-through on its scheduled day, so his teacher lovingly offered me to go walk him through the classroom before everyone went in to start the morning. I took him in, showed him his chair, and we took a quick peek at the giant lego table. Its going to be a GREAT day!
Except I forgot to send extra clothes. So, no pants peeing, Solly! There are rules…
He is five. But I swear, this morning, to me, he may as well be fifteen.
Awww that is so cool to hear! So glad he’s so gung ho! 😁💞
He’ll do great, he’s always such a happy guy! So excited for him! 💖
Hugs to you Mom! 😍
