It's Official!!

My boy is officially a school-ager!  Today was Ryan's first day of Kindergarten, WOW, talk about a FUN, EXCITING, NERVOUS, EMOTIONAL day!!  More for Mama than Ryan. ;)  He just hopped out of the van, walked right up to school (barely even holding my hand in the crosswalk!!) and right into the classroom!!  He did hug on his mama when we went in and were looking around, but then he saw a buddy from preschool and they settled in on the rug, all smiles!!!  :)  Of course, I was on the edge of tears but smiling the whole time; once we walked out of the classroom, the tears rolled!!  Bless his lil heart, it's just unbelievable. :)   I thought about him all day, wondering what he was doing eveytime I looked at the clock. :)  When 3:25 FINALLY rolled around, I could barely contain myself! I had to hold back from RUNNING up to the school, lol.  He came out all grins, and definitely exhausted!!   He told me some fun things from today, like singing one of his favorite morning songs from preschool, "Rise & Shine"; going on a "bear hunt" around the school, getting to RUN in the gym, eating lunch in the cafeteria, and more...but he did tell me that "most of it is a secret, Mom, and you'll just have to come to Kindergarten with me to find out!"  :)  Little stink!  Then for supper he ate 2 steaks and 2 ears of sweet corn; then of course a couple of snacks this evening!!  :)   He fell into bed, exhausted and happy.  LOVE LOVE LOVE that boy!!!  <3
