I am happy to say we all survived with smiles!! When John got off the bus yesterday I could see he was happy happy happy and a note from his aide confirmed it. She said he was the best behaved in the whole class and did just what he was supposed to do. She also got a huge chuckle out of him trying to recite the pledge. He did it every day in preschool, so he does know it in bits and pieces- she said she was really proud of him. I have found the bus driver to be excellent- taking good care of him and said she made him the line leader of her kindergartens- Was that nice or what!!
So today he goes only half a day, should be fine, although he was pretty sluggish this morning- first day all excitement, second day tired- by next week I will be propping him up at breakfast.
As for myself, I wallowed in the moment for a bit- then decided I would shower, put on make up and wear something nice. I ran errands most of the day- and it was really nice to have the whole day!!!! I do think I will come to love Tuesdays and Fridays!!! Even when my older girls ( 13 &12) got home from middle school they were suspicious of why I was dressed up- they just expected me to sit around the house all day I guess!
thanks to everyone for the words of encouragement- I know it is just the beginning but it feels good to start off on the right foot.
