Second Day Of School!

Dear Camden,

Today was your second day of kindergarten! When I woke you up this morning you told me, "I'm sooo tired," but happily got up going on our morning routine for school. Today is a hard day for me. A hard day of letting you go to school. I was lucky enough to be on campus for most of the day yesterday, so I didn't really feel like you were gone. Today is your first day of kindergarten for me.
I rode with daddy to take you and Sydney to school. You talked about how you were still a little nervous and your tummy hurt a little. I decided I should tell you that Hannah would be leaving early from school today and not returning until Monday so you wouldn't be surprised when she wasn't around. Your sweet face turned into panic and I quickly told you to find Jenna or Ryan to be with. You relaxed and smiled again. We both gave you a big hug and kiss and walked you to your classroom line. I made sure to tell Mrs. Walker that you had a hard time breathing last night with your asthma and if she and other teachers could keep an extra eye on you and off we went.

On the drive home I talked to your dad about how much I'm going to miss having you around each day. You are so cute when you ask me, "What room are you going to be in next?" So you can gather whatever you are working on or playing with to move so you can be next to me. I will miss watching you spend our quiet mornings sorting cups, puzzle pieces or buttons. I will miss our morning time working in the kitchen together. Me cleaning and you making your Perler bead patterns. You have been a fun little companion to have the past 5 years. Don't get me wrong that we both had our bad days, but for 98% the time, we have been the best of buddies.

Camden, I will miss you very much everyday and can't wait to pick you up and hear every detail of your day, about your new world away from mine. I feel jealous that your teachers get to watch you grow, learn and say the silliest, sassiest and smartest things. Things I might not ever hear. You are very special to me. Even though I have cried several times today in a quiet empty house without you being next to my side, I can't be more excited for you and your new adventure in school. You are an amazing intelligent little boy and can't wait to see what you do with your new world.

I am very proud of you. I love you googleplex plus infinity for always!

Hugs and Kisses,

Mom

Alright it's official I'm pulling all my kids out of school and home schooling them! If I thought I'd be any good it I really would consider doing it after that heart felt, true sincere message. Thanks for sharing!
