To kill two birds with one stone, this will include the last two years of school!!
Last year (2010) NayNay started Kindergarten! I was so excited for him and the great experience he would have. He was able to ride the bus, eat at school a few times, meet new friends, color, read, play, and much more, then come home and spend some great afternoons with me! What made it even better was the fact that FeFe started preschool at the amazing Mrs. Clouds the same year, but at a different time. NayNay would go to school in the morning, leaving me with one-on-one time with FeFe and FeFe would go to school in the afternoon so I could enjoy some lazy afternoons with my NayNay. And to top it all off they both had the most amazing teachers. Each teacher was patient and loving and made my children feel special! The hardest part was that when summer came, I wasn't able to keep their minds as focused and stimulated as their wonderful teachers had and they quickly became bored with me. And we all know what happens when a child is bored ;)!
Anyway, here are my sweeties on their first day of school 2010!!
See the joy in those faces? They are so ready to grow up and be big...sniff, sniff. With that in mind, here they are this year, 2011, going back to Mrs. Cloud (yippee!) and off to first grade!
I must admit that when NayNay went to Kindergarten I was not sad in the least bit. I was so excited for him to have such a new and exciting experience! This changed a lot for first grade. Although I knew he was ready for more, I was not ready for less. He gets on the bus at 9 am and doesn't get off until 4 pm. Then there are chores, homework, dinner and bed. Where is my fun time, my cuddle time, my "just me and you" time? I do miss him so much and I love the moment he walks in my door at 4 pm.
I just have to make every second count! Love you bug!
