So my oldest daughter -- who turned 5 overnight, I swear -- started kindergarten today. I think I'm remarkably calm. I only teared up once, and that was when I was already at work and my husband reported that the big-day drop-off went OK. I've even been able to concentrate on a few other things, which is quite the feat when your heart is in a kindergarten classroom 25 minutes away ... And now there's only three hours and 11 minutes until I can pick her up ... Oh, how I hope that she's loving her first day.
How was your house this morning? Any back-to-school jitters?

Oh this brings back memories....
I remember I always thought I'd be strong and not get all weepy when my daughter went off to kindergarten but was I wrong.
I used up a whole roll of film the morning I dropped her off for her first day of school....and I was the only mom there taking pictures and everyone was looking at me as if I was strange...??? Then the teacher shooed all the parents out of the classroom and I went to may car and broke down in tears. It took me by surprise and I felt ridiculous but there was no stopping the emotions.
Oddly enough I had similar but less intense feelings on her first day of college...and on that day I didn't follow her around taking pictures...:)

Haileys daycare starts 4yr old pre-school today. So today is her first day of pre-school, but because she has been going here since she was a baby - it wasnt really any different than any other day. What was a big-deal is that today she went to school in "big-girl" undies. She had stayed dry since friday night with only 2 accidents - so going to school in her Dora the Explorer panties was a huge deal!

Enjoy the cuteness while it lasts and take lots of pictures!! My "little princess" just started her senior year of h.s. today. It's amazing how the time flies and how nostalgiac you can get about a little girl who held your finger and then your hand willingly, without any prompting, as she grew older until she became the young woman who would rather not be in the same county with you. My daughter started school as an afternoon kindergartner at Fratt. The whole morning was nice weatherwise. She was nervous but in a good way. As her mom and I were driving her to school a thunderstorm came out of nowhere and started dumping rain and throwing lightning and had the black rolling clouds that you usually only see in movies. You can watch her expression change from nervous excitement to almost fear in the succession of pix i took. We walked her to the door where we were cut off by teachers. They wanted a clean break I guess. I have a pic of her looking back at us with this look that to this day breaks my heart and makes me laugh, it's almost like she thinks she's being lead away never to see us again. A couple of hours later, the pix show her running out of school with her backpack in her hand, sun shining fully, and the biggest, most genuine smile on her face. She had six hours of stories from a two hour experience for me and her mom, then she had to go to her grandparents house to tell them how cool it was. Now shes a senior in high school. Seems like kindergarten was just the other day. Enjoy this time, it's alot of fun that you'll NEVER forget. Open houses are a BLAST! They're so proud of themselves with their newfound life and experiences and friends. Good luck, have fun!

Now I'm just waiting for her to get to the point in her life where she feels comfortable responding with something other than "yea", "mmkay" or "i know" when I say I love you. I'm thinking 22 - 23? Maybe the women here could help me gauge when to expect that? P.S. Sorry for intruding on mommy talk as a father.

My son LOVED it. He is a very social child and really liked the structure of school and getting to meet new people.
I cried on the way to work after I dropped him off. Having children is such an awesome experience.
My daughter is 8 months old and it really reminds me how fast time goes. Enjoy it.
