What?! Am I in the Twilight Zone? Weren't they born like, last week?
Actually, Calen going into 2nd grade is shocking, but not like whoa I need to see a psychiatrist shocking. But there's something about Camden going into Kindergarten: REAL elementary school, that I'm like "No, that's incorrect. Someone messed up his birthdate. He's still a 4 year old itty bitty preschooler. He can't say "L's" or "R's" when he talks and he still seems so little. Absolutely completely IMPOSSIBLE that he's old enough, big enough, mature enough for kindergarten (the latter is still up for debate).
Yet here we are.
Everything went off without a hitch. Much to the kids disgust, I drove them to school this morning instead of letting them both ride bikes to school. Because you know, helmets will mess up their hair and I wanted to embarrass them with pictures inside their classroom (along with every other mom at Two Rock Elementary). From the parking lot, Calen took Cam's hand and I heard him say "come on Cam, I'll take you to your classroom and Mrs Jones! And if you need anything I'll be in the 2nd grade room!" And escorted him all the way inside his classroom before letting go and yelling a resounding "Bye Cam!" as he marched away to his own room.
Cue the first tears I have ever shed when dropping any kid off at school ever.
Cam even came out of his classroom (not upset) to give me a big hug and say "bye mom!" while I was in the hallway talking to another mom.
Cue the second tears I've ever shed when dropping any kid off at school ever.
Actually, that's not true. I didn't ACTUALLY cry. But I did tear up.
The kids had a great first day and like their teachers and their classmates. Here's to a great year.
