Can I get a smile?!
Nate's first day!
Talking with his teacher Mrs. Mitchell
All ready to go in!
One last pic with Mom...
...and in he goes for his first day.
His teacher gave us a poem that read,
The First Day
I gave you a little wink and smile
As you came to our school today.
For I know how hard it is to leave
And know your child must stay.
You've been with him for five years now
And have been a loving guide,
But now, alas, the time has come
To leave him at my side.
Just know that as you drive away
And tears down your cheeks may flow
I'll love him as I would my own
And help him learn and grow.
For as a parent, I too know
How quickly the years do pass
And that one day soon it will be my turn
To take my child to class.
So please put your mind at ease
And cry those tears no more
For I will love him and take him in
When you leave him at my door.
She gave this with a box of tissues, so needless to say, this didn't help me keep it together all that well on an already emotional morning! Ah well, he had a great day and I'm excited for him.
