Our baby began kindergarten today! I can’t believe it! He was calm, cool, and went into school like he’d been doing it his whole life. When I got back into the car I thought, “wait, I think I was supposed to cry!” but he was so calm, it didn’t occur to me to be nervous or upset. <\/p>\n

We made family bracelets so that if Xander got nervous, he could look at his bracelet and think of our family. 
\"\"<\/div>\n

We dropped him off and just like that, he’s a big kid! <\/p>\n

The admissions director sent Nate and I a few texts throughout the day with updates and a photo of X. <\/div>\n

Meanwhile, Augustus spent Wednesday with Grandma, and they were BUSY! They were at the park for 2 hours where Augustus made a gaggle of friends. They had a fabulous day!<\/p>\n

I’d been warned by several people that when kids start kindergarten, the first few days (or weeks) they are a mess- exhausted after a busy day. I had snacks ready in the car. I had an early dinner planned. I didn’t bombard him with questions. But he was chatty on the way home and was excited to play with Grandma and Gussie when we got home. After dinner, he insisted I get him some cones so he could show me the activity he did in PE class. He’s shown us his muscles several times so far and he’s very excited about gym class (luckily they have it 3 times a week). He liked his lunch, he got to go outside twice, he had art class. It sounds like it was a very good day! <\/p>\n
