Daniel was up at 5:58 this morning ready to go! He requested pancakes for breakfast & did eat some, but was too excited to completely gorge out like he usually does with pancakes. I didn't even have to ask him to get dressed (wonder how long that will last, because it's usually a battle!). He finished eating & went right to his room to get ready. We got his backpack & lunch packed, took some pictures and it was time to go. Car line went surprisingly very smooth (I've heard some nightmare stories about car line on the 1st day of school). He was all excited about getting there, but did ask several times on the way if those 'big kids', referring to safety patrol, were going to help him get to the amphitheater. I reassured him that they would & he was fine. There were no tears when he got out- from him anyway! And yes, I was the obnoxious mom hanging out the window, snapping pictures & waving bye to him. I saved my breakdown for when we pulled away. Thankfully Laura Ann was in the backseat asking a million questions about the rocks, the playground, who are those kids?, is that lady Daniel's teacher?, and on and on. I had myself pulled together by the time we got back home. Whew! What a morning! Now I can hardly wait until 3:20 to get him off the bus!
