I am officially the mom of two elementary school students. Today is the first day for Will and Molly at Greentree Elementary, the first school I attended in Kingwood too many years ago! Molly was very, very excited about Kindergarten and Will was a little less than excited about his new school when they got up this morning. Molly stumbled downstairs half asleep with her clothes picked out in her arms, ready to start her day. Dave had to wake Will and Will said he didn't care what Dave picked out for him to wear. But, by the time we got to school, he looked a little happier and ready to go. The difference in drop-offs was quite hilarious. When dropping off Will, the teacher met us at the door, and told us thank you and goodbye. He found his way to his desk and gave me a wave and a smile, as I secretly longed for him to run back and tell me he loved me and give me a big kiss. When dropping off Molly, every student had at least one parent, if not both, smothering them with hugs and kisses, taking 85 pictures, and admiring their brightly colored pencil boxes. I was very pleased to see that Molly did indeed have a pink one. She became a little more timid as she sat at her table and watched the busyness swirling around her. I had been fine, but lost composure a little as I had to leave my little girl looking a little scared. Needless to say, I can't wait until 1:50 rolls around, and then 3:20 so that I can hear all about their day!
Here's Will in his traditional first day pose... looking alot like Nixon (plus one finger)

And the sad face that made me cry right before we left. :(
