Noah's First Day of School!







My Baby,







You're first day of "school" (Mom's Day Out) was today. I have been SO worried about sending my little man off for three hours without me that I've been making myself crazy about it for the last few days (oh, ok, maybe weeks!). But, you proved me wrong and LOVED it! I am so proud of you!







Let's back up and start from the beginning. You went to meet your teachers on Friday and were saying their names all weekend...everytime we drove by your school you would say "school", "Shannon", "Edna", "balls", "park". You have such a good memory and are really making connections to things in your world. It's so fun for your Daddy and I to watch!







The night before your first day, I was a nervous wreck. I typed out a list of helpful hints about you for your teacher (yes, I'm that mom!), got your backpack ready, packed your lunch, and laid your outfit out. Daddy drew a picture of your favorite characters so that when you opened your lunchbox today you had something from home to look at! The teachers told us it was a hit!







When I dropped you off today, you cried "Mamma, Mamma, Mamma" as your teacher was getting you out of your carseat (such a nice setup..they come out and get you). I drove away with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. I immediately called Daddy and we decided to meet up for coffee and a walk. Just as I was picking him up, a call came from your school. Yikes! My stomach did a few flips, I answered it, and was pleasently surprided! The director was calling to tell me how awesome you were doing and that you only cried for 3 minutes! That really helped me relax and enjoy the rest of the morning!







When I picked you up at 12:30, you ran out to see me and then immediately ran toward the school and wanted to go back in! I guess that's a good problem to have! You actually liked it! Ms. Shannon said you were so good, ate well, and loved hanging out with your new friends!







You'll be back on Friday!






Love you so much,



Mamma
