1st day of Kindergarten!


Well, we survived the first day back to school. It was a very hard day for me. Brian had to take Madelyn to the babysitter for me and then take Bryson to his first day of Kindergarten. All while I was being a Kindergarten teacher myself to 24 Kindergarteners all day all by myself!!! Yes, it was a very emotionally challenging day. Bryson loved school of course, Madelyn didn't even know I was gone apparently, and I survived my crazy and hectic day. I truly do love my job, but it is sooooo hard at the beginning of the year. You forget how little they know at the beginning and just how much you actually do teach them. I forget when I say line up at the door, they have no idea what I am talking about and I have to actually put them in line physically at first. It is amazing what all they learn in this one year of life! It is so much fun having Bryson down the hall from me everyday and we get to come to school together and leave together. He says that is his favorite part about Kindergarten. On the first day when we were on the playground I kept hearing someone yelling "Mom" over and over and I finally saw Bryson waving at me! I completely forgot that I am mom at school now too. Then he heard the other kids calling me Mrs. Yeager and so the next day he passed me in the hall and he said, "Hi Mrs. Yeager, how are you today?" I couldn't stop laughing, it just made my day. This is going to be a fun year.
