Last Friday night my mind was put at ease when we went to meet the teacher. We can all rest easy the bathroom is in the class room;) His teacher was also very nice. She used to be in my old ward. Before it split. I didn't really know her. But after much prayer I felt really good about who ever would be Jaren's teacher. Sunday night & Monday morning were full of so many special moments. It finally dawned on me Sunday night how much I was going to miss Jaren. He wasn't going to be there to eat lunch with me, or make me laugh all day. Who was I going to have jam sessions with on guitar hero? Sunday night are routine went on without a hitch. As I tucked Jaren in to bed I told him in my happiest voice so as not to upset him. That I was really going to miss him all day. He told me he would miss me too, and not to worry he would tell me all about his day when he got home. The next morning Richard went in late so we could take Jaren together. I didn't cry one time. Liar! Okay, I didn't cry one time in front of him. He was so happy to be at school, When we walked in the door he literally threw his backpack at me, and quickly sat on the floor where his teacher was reading a story. As we left he gave me a kiss, and I fought back tears. I was so happy that he wanted to be there. I told Richard that morning that I was pretty sure I needed to go down there at lunch time so I could put his straw in his caprisun. I was so worried that he wasn't going to eat all of his lunch. That he was going to be starving, and cranky. That morning we talked about him eating all of his lunch. You know the healthy stuff first. I watched the clock all day, and couldn't wait until it was time to pick him up. The anticipation was agonizing as we waited in line 30min to pick him up. Crazy, and a whole post in it's self. I will however spare you the details. When we finally got to the front of the line he jumped in the car. He quickly confessed he ate his fruit roll up first. What a funny kid.
The rest of my family tried to make me feel better when we got home.
Richard reassured me that Jaren would be home.
Jace cuddled me and said "don't be sad Mommy". Later that day when Tate started to cry he told him "don't be sad Daddy will be home soon."
Tate promised me he would never go to kindergarten.

I'm glad it went well. Kendall has really been missing Noah this week. In fact, she cried and wanted to stay for kindergarten when we took the kids on the first day of school.
I am so glad Jaren had a great first day. I cried most of the day too. Kids grow up so fast. How do you like his school?
I have to say the first day of school is really tough...then once you have them in school for awile and see what you can do without them you will be praying for every summer to be over with. Ok maybe thats just me!!! I'm glad you both made it!!
