Yesterday was Easton’s first day of kindergarten. He was a little bit nervous, but he’s been excited for weeks for this day to come so I think the excitement drowned out the nervousness. Oh my, he was just the most darling little thing on that playground with his batman backpack, stylish clothes, and cool new kicks. I could have smothered him with proud mama kisses. Jacob and I took him in the morning and showed him where to go and waited with him until the bell rang. He’s one of the tallest kids in the class, but he’s kind of a big kid. At his well check a month ago he was in the 75th percentile for height and 95th percentile for weight. He’s a stocky kid. After school was over, I asked him how the day went and he said, “Great! I loved it. Do I get to go back tomorrow?” I was so happy he loved it.
I didn’t cry when I dropped him off, and I think it’s because of my years of working at an elementary school and just loving the whole environment that the little ones get to enjoy in kindergarten. It’s such a fun time in his life, so I’m just happy for him. When I saw the kids getting on the bus from Early Childhood I felt a tad bit sad that I wasn’t working as an assistant anymore with Miss Charlotte. That was such an awesome job, and I’m sure it’s because I was the assistant to a teacher that I absolutely loved. Such good memories from that time in my life.
Easton had just as much fun at school today. He got to go to art class, and that was pretty awesome to him. He’s such a big boy and so ready to learn and have fun without mom, and I’m happy about that. I want him to be able to be independent and know who he is when he’s not with me, and he does such a good job of that. He’s always so well-behaved and kind that I am just so happy that I get to say he’s mine.
Teagan has been just fine so far without him. He was a bit sad yesterday when he saw the bus at the school, and he couldn’t get on it and ride it. And today he had to have a backpack to take with him to pretend he was going to school too. It will be nice to have some alone time with Teags each day before another baby arrives.
I’ve been up and down with sickness lately. Still having a hard time finding things to eat because nothing ever sounds good to me. I’ve been very tired and kind of cranky. I’ve also lost interest in photography completely, and that tends to happen in my first trimester. I just quit caring about things that seemed like they were so important to me. Maybe it’s because when I’m sick I don’t feel like taking pictures or editing, and having to do them makes me feel resentful. Not sure, but I’ll be glad when this first trimester is over and I feel well and interested in things again.
