After his concert and I packed him a few snacks (he will be eating breakfast and lunch at school) and made him a pop tart (his choice for quick breakfast snack) We had timed out how long it takes to walk to the school (23 minutes) so we made sure we left a little early for the first day and took off for the first day of school.
Chance looked so cute walking to school with his backpack on in his little uniform. The walk to school isn't that bad as a matter of fact it is a great time to get to talk to Chance about all kinds of interesting things.
When we got to school All the Kindergarten classes (there are four) were lining up by class in the little courtyard just outside the kindergarten hallway. We found Chance's teachers and then gave him a big hug before he got in line with his class.
His teacher Mrs. Gidney gave him a sticker with his name on it. There were no tears from us or from Chance he was very brave standing in line by himself, well with his other classmates, waiting and then walking into the building with his class. Scott and I waited just outside the gate watching him till he went inside.
We picked him up after school, he was in a good mood and seemed to enjoy his first day so even though it was really hard to spend the day without him and to go from being the one who makes all the rules and is always there to help him to having to trust teachers we barely know it makes it that much easier when he comes home having had a good day.
This last picture was actually taken on his second day at school which we also stayed just outside the gate waiting to watch him walk into school. He is so strong and confident with himself he turned around and blew us a kiss while he was going into the building. I love that little guy.
