Last year I started this blog with D-boy's fake first day of kindergarten. This year today was his actual first day of school. It felt different this time, I wasn't in a hurry to get him there. Once we were close he wanted to run as fast as he could to get into his new classroom. First grade is a big deal, he gets his own desk with his name on it. I had to slow him down to walk with me. The truth is over this past year I've spent so much time with him, I miss him already. It's different when you don't work. Before I was used to dropping him off at daycare, or preschool before I went to work. I'd have my own day and he would have his. Since the pilot is gone 3 to 4 days a week, I spend 24/7 with my son. And I have to admit I love being with him.
That said here is how our morning started. D-boy crawls into bed with me at 7:09 am, I know this because he decided to let me know what time it was "Mommy, its 7:09, Mommy its 7:12, Mommy its 7:14" You get the idea, he did this until my alarm went off at 7:30. I tried to convince him to go make his own breakfast but he didn't want to go alone. We weren't leaving the house until 9 am so you can imagine how long our morning was until then. I finally took us both out at 8:30 to take the dog for a walk, just so I didn't have to hear the time updates anymore. I wasn't surprised when we got back to the house that D-boy informed me it was 8:55 am. At this point I thought maybe I was ready to take him to school.
I am excited for him to start a new year with a new teacher and maybe some new friends. Now I just have to figure out what I'm gonna do....
