Today was Alex's first day of kindergarten. I'm pretty sure I was more nervous than he was, maybe.
I've been through this before, it shouldn't be a big deal, but it was different. Lily and Alex are very different. I never worried about Lily. She was almost grown up the day she was born. Alex is much more reserved.
When I woke him up this morning he had a little tantrum saying that he did NOT want to go to school today. He eventually warmed up to the idea, after I bribed him with after school cookies. He didn't say much all morning long. I think he was a little freaked out when we walked in the building and there were so many kids.
Thankfully, this was a low key day for kindergartners. There were only 5 other kids in his class. His group was the last to start - other kids had their first days on Wed. and Thurs. On Monday the whole class gets to meet, all 17 of them. And he gets to ride the bus. We made it through today, but Monday starts a whole new adventure. I think he'll do just fine.
