Waking up this morning was certainly strange. The crisp air, the frantic way in which we were getting ready. What was so different about this morning? Well, it was a school morning of course. SCHOOL??? It's true. Jack turned 3 this weekend, and so today embarked on his next big adventure, Pre-School.
He woke up, totally excited and remembering what we have been telling him for the past few days, today is his first day of his birthday! No sweetie, your birthday already happened. Oh yea, first day of Pre-School! He picked out his own outfit, which of course included his robot sweater and waited anxiously as I packed his back pack. "Can I put it on NOW mommy?" Just a minute..."Is it ready NOW??" And then we were out the door. His little back pack, seeming to take up about half of his whole body.
When we got there, he followed the brick walkway to the school which is located inside a beautiful house, on a beautiful street, in beautiful Cambridge. Not bad. He walked right in and seemed amazed. A school. With kids! And he was off, I mean really, that was it. A few minutes later he did a pee-pee wiggle and we explored the bathroom. The coolest part being the tiny sinks and painted walls with polka dots and stars.
"Do you want Mommy and Daddy to leave?"
"Yea"
Kisses, and then we were off. He didn't even watch us leave. Isn't it strange? My heart feels like it's broken into a million pieces and I can't tell if it's because it exploded with pride, or because my baby grew up. A little of both. And mostly I can't wait to pick him up and hear all about his first day.
I just hope he doesn't poop in his pants!
