Can I AW my kindergartner? PIPs

[cbwm1]

So, Will turned 5 on Monday and started kindergarten yesterday. I don't know where the last five years have gone!

Here he is at the open house Monday night:




And here he is yesterday (squinty, because it's bright, yo) going to school:





I sobbed after we dropped him off yesterday, and I thought I was going to be totally breezy about him starting full-time school - especially since he's been in preschool through the school district for the last two years. And seriously, he was SO geeked out to go back today.

OMG, he's adorable. that smile!

You guys are killing me with all these ML babies starting kindergarten.

Right?? There were a bunch of us who had babies all around the same time and now they're big kids and I CAN'T HANDLE IT.

Aww! I love all these back to school pics. He's a handsome guy!

He looks so big and grown up!

[cbwm1]

LOL, MIL swears he looks just like me.

I think he's just a big mash-up of both DH and I.

Awww big boy!

I sobbed today too. Its cool we can be non-breezy together.

[cbwm1]

LOL, eddy

Leading up to it I was seriously like, THIS IS NO BIG DEAL. And then he was so damn excited and handled it like a champ and gah. So yeah, I'm not as breezy as I thought I was.

[eddy]

Exactly

It was the excitement that did me in. It is just such an innocent thing. He had no idea what to be worried about or what to dread. He was just like SCHOOOLL OMG SCHOOOOL.

It softened my black heart.

I am DYING to go pick him up and hear about his day.

[cbwm1]

Don't expect to hear much. LOL.

We kept asking Will questions last night and he kept saying "I don't know" or "Nothing" or "I played" when we asked him what he did.

I hope Jack is more forthcoming with information for you!

Mine doesn't start until after Labor Day, either, and all these posts are killing me, too!

He's a total doll!

Thanks again all!

And LOL @ him this morning. I asked him if he wanted spikes in his hair. He said, "No, just regular. No stinky stuff" (i.e., gel and hairspray).
