Allison had her first day of Kindergarten today and boy was it a doozie! First, she started running a fever yesterday and I don't think she was 100% today. Mix that with an already anxiousness and first day jitters and you have and crying clinging mess! We walked her into school - as many parents did - and I stood with her in her line until it was time for her to go to class. When I told her we would have to part she started crying and saying "check my head Mommy, I think my fever is back! I need to go home!" Cute and sad all at the same time! She really threw a fit when we started leaving, so a teacher's aide took her hand and tried to reassure her. It didn't work - she ripped her hand away from her and ran to me screaming "Hug Mommy - Hug!" Broke my heart!
Ultimately she survived and acted as though she didn't have a care in the world when I picked her up. She really enjoyed her day and we went to McD's to celebrate with a happy meal.
Nolan thought he ought to participate in the first day of school pictures too...
The deer in the headlights - right before the major breakdown...
The happy happy meal...
