I made sure to make him his favorite breakfast...waffles. Have to admit that's my favorite breakfast too!
Then we tried to get the back pack on...but Hunter just wasn't having it. I LOVE this backpack. I spent a little more than I wanted to...but it's perfect. It's the Fairfax line from Pottery Barn in the pre-school size. It's seriously the perfect size for these little bodies, and it holds everything a pre-schooler needs: a change of clothes, a book, a little snack pack, and something for show and tell. Since he didn't want to wear it the first day...Jagger thought he'd give it a whirl.
The second day of school was a little more success with the back pack...you can see it in it's full cuteness here
Anyway...I think that I had more jitters about leaving him than he had about me leaving. He was the first one in the classroom, and when I ducked in to kiss him goodbye and explain that I would be back later, he just said "ok, bye mom." Mom. Not mama....or mommy.....but Mom. (sigh) I don't understand how kids defy the laws of time and space a grow up way too fast. Regardless...he came home with his first bit of artwork...which has inspired me to get a-crackin on some way to display all the fabulous pieces of art he's going to create. And I'm almost done with phase one! Woot!
Oh yeah...and I found out that the church his pre-school is in has a thrift store....DANGEROUS!!!!
How sweet! I know I'll blink my eyes and my son will be wearing a bookbag, too!
