First Day of School

It has finally happened. I had to send my first baby to his first day of school! sniff, sniff. I must admit though, that he looked so stinking cute, I could hardly contain myself! He was so excited to go, and his first report of the day as he stepped off the bus was "that was AWESOME mom, really, really awesome!" Makes my heart happy. He loved every second of it, and was happy to report that he got to go to recess "two times!!" On the first day, at his school it is required that a parent bring them, then they ride the bus home. I would have come anyway, but it was nice because they had a separate parents orientation meeting after the kids are dropped off. I am so far VERY impressed with the school itself, and happy with our choice to send him to this particular school. His principal has the greatest Australian accent, and his teacher is just awesome! He loves her and everything else so far. I knew he would, but still -just a huge milestone for mommy and son!

Porter and Mommy, before goodbyes were said

They let them pick out their cubbies, he picked the first one closest to the door. Don't know why- but he definitely wanted that one, not any other! So here we have it, backpack hung and ready for the day...guess it's time to go for mom:(

I always felt like this was such a long time away, but it really came so quickly!! He has already made some cute little buddies though, and has loved every second of school. Now, if he can just ace his Turkish classes, we'll be set! (and the sooner the better, I need a translator!) Love you buddy! You are such a big boy, and I can't wait to watch you continue to grow and have more fun milestones! Congratulations on a successful first day of Kindergarten!
