Jacob's 1st day of Kindergarten started at 6:45. He woke on his own and was ready to start the day. I made sausage and peanut butter and jelly toast for breakfast per the kids' request. We headed to school after taking several pictures at home. Once inside, we ventured down the Kindergarten hallway taking in the memories that were being made. We found Jacob's locker, he practiced opening and closing it at least 10 times! Then we headed for his room, the part I dreaded the most. The hallway was safe because we could still leave or maybe we were just there to see Jordan. The room meant it was real! He immediately spotted a friend from preschool, then another one. Then the look of fear came on his face, he looked like he was going to cry. I lost it then and as soon as he turned it on, he turned it right off. I tried so hard to hide the fact that I was crying and I succeeded. He sat down by two buddies from preschool and began coloring right away. We said our goodbyes and I held my tears in until I got inside my van. Then, I lost it BIG time. He'll be ok, I know that beyond a shadow of doubt. I just cannot handle them growing up, they're still babies to me. He had a wonderful day and was so excited when he got home. He talked non-stop and is ready for tomorrow. Lord, I thank You for the precious boys You gave me. I pray that you help us raise them to be Godly men after Your heart.
