We sent our firstborn out into the BIG, REAL world almost two weeks ago. Calvin is in kindergarten now.
His first day was sad, and he cried as I dropped him off. It felt pretty sucky to walk away. I cried off and on throughout the whole day.
He continued with the sadness minus the tears throughout the first week.
Now this past week he hasn't even batted an eye when I leave him. In fact, on Friday I didn't even get a lingering wave as he walked through the door. PLUS he has been telling us how fun kindergarten is and how nice his teacher is.
Come on!!! Can't I get at least one more week of tears? I mean I put in some serious time nurturing him at home.

i'm so glad to have you back to the blogging world. i was having withdrawals!
that Calvin is so very handsome (he probably wouldn't appreciate the word cute at this point).
fear not, he's a boy. even though he's "cool" right now boys ALWAYS love their mommas. some how that comforts me. . .and that i can possibly be the daught-in-law's worst nightmare because she will never do things like his mom!
AWWWW! This makes me cry too. What a beautiful picture of a little boy i love with more than my entire heart.
You are a terrific mother, never doubt it.
love
You only have to go through this experience three times...in Kindergarten, in middle school and high school. You only freak out with the first one. The seconds, you will be happier to kick out the door. At least that is my experience so far.
Glad he is enjoying school.
And congrats on being a great parent, Abigail never shed a tear...didn't think about it then, but now I am second guessing my nurturing abilities. LOL
