WW – Grape KneeHigh


First day of Kindergarten, over.

She cried.

Mom cried.

Dad…was strong…

She came home full of life and stories.

And she was fine, without us.

We played “Moose in the House” with our Kindergartener.

Mom planned Day 2.

And everyone went to bed. Except me.

She’s going back tomorrow.

She’s fine.

Mom’s fine.

And I’m….strong.

more Wordful Wednesdays, please go visit my friend Angie,
who is a tiny redheaded package of AWESOMENESS.

    Aaaawwww….so sweet. I had a 5th grader and a 1st grader and I still cried. I am sure come Sept. 8th when my baby starts preschool I will be a blubbering mess!!

    My youngest of three starts kindergarten Friday. There may be a tear or two shed during my happy dance, but somehow, I doubt it.

    This is so sweet! Take it day by day, and you'll get used to it.

  13. Sarah says:

    Aww! You're such a great father! Posts like these leave me teary eyed. My little Nood is only two and I'm dreading the first day.

    Poor Jay. No one ever tells you how hard it can be. (I wouldn't know. I've always done the happy dance when my kids go to school). Kidding. Kidding. The hardest part for me is dealing with the friend stuff……..

    Hey, your back!

    I hear you. My kids start therapy/preschool in the fall, and I am going to try to stay strong. I think I'll be sad to see them go the first day. :(
