Yep, the day has arrived that Corbin started Kindergarten. He has been so excited to turn 5 yrs. old and be big enough to go to school. Me on the other hand, as his Mother, I could have waited a few more years for this day to come. I have to say he was so cute and he absolutely loved his first day! He loves everything about it and loves to tell me all the things he did each day. He loves, loves, loves that he is big enough to ride on the School Bus by himself. Today he jumped off the bus and scooped Aidan up in a big hug and said "Hi Aidan, did you miss me when I was at school?"...too cute! Corbin has to pick out in careful detail what he's going to wear the next day. For his first day he wore Transformer's everything right down to his new underpants....crazy kid! After he got dressed he said "How do I look?"..."Like a School Kid?" So the big question....did I cry on the first day like many Mom's do? Nope, but lets just say I was pretty close to it. I got emotional a lot the night before and all through out the first day as we were taking Corbin to school. How can you not though when you look back on the last 5 years of his little life and realize that you won't get to spend every day all day with him anymore, you finally have to share him and let him grow up. Aidan wasn't happy at all that we had to leave Corbin at school. We've had tears, fits and down right "I'm mad"'s. It's taken 3 days for him to finally be o.k. with it and to realize he likes having Mom all to himself. He gets up every morning with Corbin and follow's his routine like he's getting ready for school too. He is really excited when it's time for Corbin to get home. Through it all the only really bad part is it's been a nightmare trying to get the School on track and get the parents informed of all the changes, etc going on. A whole nother story. Let's just say I've been having a constant headache with it but have tried to keep Corbin from going crazy with not knowing what's going on. He's into his second week of school and because of the class sizes being so big they finally added another class. So he just got moved from one a.m. class to another and no one from our neighborhood is in his class anymore. Luckly there is a few kids from our ward. Anyway I don't have a lot of faith in his school right now, I hope it will change for the better. Luckly both Kindergarten Teachers are excellent and on the ball.

It's a little bit of a scary feeling when you realize you won't be the only major influence in your child's life and what they are learning. But it gets easier, promise! Glad he likes kindergarten so much!
Its so fun to see your kids growing up. Glad Corbin is enjoying school.
He looks so cute. Our baby just went to Kinder and I did bawl...all day. :O( So sad. She is loving it, as Corbin is, so that makes it nice. You enjoy the time you have with just Aiden!
time flies huh
