Back to School

I can't believe summer's gone. Well, actually I think school starts too early because it's still way hot and when they got out of school last year it was too cold. Juel's first day of first grade was so hard for me. It felt like he was gone forever! We had so much fun shopping and playing this summer that now I feel like I get no time with him! On his first day I went with him to show him how to get his breakfastand make sure he could find his classroom. He was so shy he wouldn't tell the lunch ladies what he wanted and they gave him a yogurt and a muffin, something I didn't think he would eat. But when I asked him if he wanted to trade he shook his head no. So we sat at a table and I told him he had to try everything even if he didn't like it. He ate the yogurt all gone! He's never done that before! Then he tried his muffin and he didn't like it. He also said his juice tasted funny. But atleast he ate his yogurt! Then we walked around the school and I showed his door and told him where I'd be to pick him up. I walked away and was fine until I got home then I wanted to cry all day. And I've often wondered if I spent enough time with him while he was little and home all day with me. It makes me want to spend more time with my family including my slave driving husband. Juel grew up way to fast and my girls are growing even faster! Ok I'm going to stop now because I could go on forever but I asked Juel how his first day of school was and his answer was "It feels like my second because it was sooooo long!" So cute! Of course his favorite part everyday is recess. He says he especially likes it when Mrs. Woods, his teacher, comes out and plays with them. I hope he has a great year of school and I think he's the best kid in the world!
