Today was the first day of School. Trent is now in 1st grade and Drew started Kindergarten. I can't believe they are both school age now. Where did the time go? Why when they were babies did I want them to grow up so fast?
Drew woke up and was excited as ever. He had to remind me the night before that he didn't know how to tie his shoes. He got dressed immediately, brushed his teeth soon after and even let me spike his hair. I told him one of the school rules is to have good grooming. Of course he asked me what grooming is? I simply told him you have to comb your hair (it is never this easy in the morning) got his socks and shoes on. He was ready. He looked like a little kindergarten stud! Darren and I were proud of him. He is such a sweet little boy.
Trent woke up shortly after Drew. He ran into my room and of course was not happy with the outfit I picked out. (He is the little girl I never had) I decided to let him choose his outfit and then life was easier. Trent has the drill down. Get dressed, brush your teeth, get your shoes on, and out the door. I think he was more excited for my parents to come over in the morning and then walking to school.
We took some pictures with Ian (Drew's best friend, our little neighbor) and walked down to Country Springs to meet Darren. The kids were excited to see him and be at school. I took some more pictures and said goodbye to Trent at his classroom since Darren was going to spend the morning in 1st grade. It went this quick. Bye mom. (Hug). He was a first grader!

It was now time for me to have my last first day of kindergarten. We walked over to Drew's classroom. He put his backpack away and the principal walked by. He met the principal and I told him "Drew, I hope you are never in her office" - she corrected me by saying "Drew, good boys and girls come to my office too" oops. I think she thought I was scaring him. Oh well. He better never be in her office (:
We had a good morning in Kindergarten. There are 18 boys in his class and 8 girls. Can you say hyperactivity! OMG! I could never be a kinder teacher! God Bless those teachers! So much to handle.
Drew sat in the back corner on a purple square listening and participating like the good little boy he is. We did centers together and read books. He even read me a book that I think he memorized back in preschool. I was impressed.
I know he will enjoy school. When we were walking to find the office we ran into a little boy... it was Trent. Drew was so excited to see his brother at school. It was really special seeing how much Drew looks up to his big brother. I will never forget that moment. They had each other.

It was time to say goodbye and Darren and I walked Drew over to fun club (daycare) and said goodbye. He was such a big boy now. He didn't need his mom or dad. He wanted to go play with Ian and his new friends.
I walked back home from the school so happy I have such great little boys who really are a joy I am so fortunate that they are healthy and thriving as little boys should.
I picked them up this afternoon and they didn't want to go home. Drew told me he had a great day and that he didn't need to go see the principal (this was a great start) Trent had his first long school day so exhaustion had kicked in.
We had a nice dinner to end the school day with some ribs (one of the kids favorite) and as if it wasn't an emotional day enough, Drew turns to me and says so sweetly, "Mommy, I wish you and daddy weren't divorced" This of course broke my heart in a million pieces.
I pray to God that great things are in our future.

I loved it, I can't wait to read more. xoxo
