We did it! We have successfully transitioned to having two school age children! And it was done with a minimum of crying (that would be me), panic (me again), or just plain crazy (uhm, yeah, I'm the guilty party again.)
I commented to a friend today that maybe I'm growing up too. It would make sense - those boys won't stay babies no matter what I do, so I will be forced, sometimes kicking and screaming, to grow right along with them.
So, today, we had what I think was our first last where Mommy didn't have a complete breakdown. We got to experience our very last VERY FIRST day of school with Finn. There were more smiles than tears, more calm than panic, and more confidence than fear.
Finn loves his teacher, and if slows down his speech and his motion, he's going to do great. Elwood barely acknowledged us when we got to the school. He ran off to see his friends then off to his class, where he is looking forward to learning cursive writing (?!?).
Todd and I walked out of the school, confident in the fact that our kindergartner and our 2nd grader were in good hands and embarking on what hopefully will be an awesome year!
