First Day of Kindy

Well today was a milestone. Max had his first day at Kindy. I stayed with him the whole time but it was quite a big deal. I didn't cry, but I didn't leave either. Max loved it and really seemed to enjoy the rythym of the school. It's a very structured school. Clear boundaries and lots of respect for others and their space. I love that. And so did Max. It works well for him and the way we parent him. 

I felt peaceful at some moments and scared to death to leave him at others. But I know this is good for him and important. We went to the bathroom at one point and he said, "Mommy I like my new Kindy." 

Tomorrow we go together again but I leave for an hour or so then Monday he is on his own. Eek! He is ready. He did need a Starbucks to start his day. I get that. It's a comfort thing and it worked. He's SO my kid. 

Special first day of Kindy breakfast. He chose gingerbread man egg. He's so my kid!

Ate his first round then had another round. Dinasour & a bone. 

Off to Kindy. 

Off we go. 

Such a big kid. 

His morning Starbucks. His gingerbread coffee he requested. (Soy milk with gingerbread in it)

Lookin' for bugs with a new friend. 

Learning how they do painting at his new school. 

Lovin' it!

Max made a new friend. This sweet girl made sure Max was okay all day. It melted my heart. It was like she was his little angel.

Family walk up the steepest street in the world. Perfect end to a great day!
