First Week Complete

The first week of school is now behind us, and we made it though with minimal bumps in the road. The first day was great...for my son. He was so excited and he hardly even noticed that his family was leaving. Mom made it to the hallway until I started to cry about my baby growing up. Thankfully my husband was there to cry on his shoulder. My little daughter, whom I thought would have a tough time having brother gone had no problem whatsoever. In fact, when I asked her what she wanted to do now she said, "Paint fingernails and have a tea party!" ha ha

The "excitement" of school is already starting to wear off. My son is beginning to realize that school is everyday. "You mean we do this everyday?" But thankfully, he still is enjoying it enough to go with a half smile on his face. He's still a little nervous.

Heavenly Father truly helped us have a successful first day and I know the school year will be great. Little details were perfect that made the day that much more bearable. For example, each child in the class gets a number and that number coincides with their mailbox and papers etc. And Nicholas got his favorite number 5! He was thrilled with that! Many little things like that happened, and I thanked my Heavenly Father for paying attention to the details that matter to a child.
