Jackson’s first day of school was Monday, August 3rd, 2009 (the entire date listed is for my memory). I was so sad on Sunday night, I just couldn’t imagine letting him head off into the world, without his mom! However, three days into it, I am liking our new schedule (although getting up at 6am makes me a bit cranky by dinner, but it hasn’t seemed to phase him). Ray, Madie, and I miss him terribly, but we are finding ways to keep ourselves busy. He has the most wonderful teacher, snack and recess everyday, and a transformers backpack—what more could a five year old, just beginning a long road of homework, grades, and school supplies, want?
Cute story: All of us Kindergarten parents, unable to leave our little ones, huddled into their classroom on the first day for an orientation (our second, of many, I presume). The teacher asked if any of the parents had any questions and, my shy little Jackson, raised his hand and said “I have a question!” What?
All the parents laughed—because he is so amazingly cute, but we never did find out what the curious mind of Jackson Sage needed to know—I’m sure it had something to do with Star Wars or when he could have his snack. I guess he has much more of the Sage anti-shyness genes than previously thought…
I'm glad you're adjusting already. I love the "routine" that having school-aged kids gives me. And really, they are SO ready to go to kindergarten! They love it! Knowing they love it, makes me love it too! :)
