1st day of school

Today was Justice's first full day of kindergarten. Of course he isn't talking. He isn't very good at giving up details, but there was a note that said he had a good first day. It was a long day for him. He left at 7:30 and just got home at 3:50. He normally wont be getting home that late but there was a tornado warning & they kept the kids in school. Justice didn't seem phased by it, he fell asleep on the bus. I on the other hand, was waiting on pins & needles, with Jordan in the basement.
I missed him today. I wanted to get all sorts of things done around here & kept finding myself going and playing with Jordan. I kept thinking about Justice all through the day. I was wanting to know how he was. I wanted to sneak over & peek in the classroom, just so I could see him playing & having a good time. It hit me this morning, I wanted to know if he was nervous, or scared, or lost or frustrated. I wanted to be there for him, to tell him it's ok. I wanted to protect him, ease his fears & walk through this new adventure in life with him so he wouldn't be scared.

That must be what all the letting go talk is about. Letting him go to pre-school was different.
I wasn't leaving him to work it out on his own, I was able to ease him into it. This was new for both of us. This is big boy school. I think he did better than I did.
