(no the dora drink bottle is not his) Sorry the second picture is so bad, but I was taking it from across the room and it just didn't work. No, I didn't cry. Actually I didn't even get a hug. We found Tanner's teacher and he bolted. Put his backpack down, found his seat and that was it - I no longer existed. No hug. No "Good-bye Mom". Nothing. I know I'm supposed to be proud that he doesn't have issues, he's not afraid to talk to new people, etc, etc, but it's kinda weird for me. I'll be OK, Go Tanner!
The person facing the most difficulty and the hardest transition - Grace. She is Tanner's little shadow. Whatever he's doing, she doing. After we dropped him off I had to go to Walmart and pick up a couple of things and as we're pulling into the parking lot she says, "Mommy, I'm really going to miss Tanner today." I almost cried for her, but we'll find something special to do today.
BTW - have you ever been to Walmart at 7:30am? It's really a pretty pleasant experience. That might be when I do my grocerying from now on.
Have a GREAT day everyone.

How cute! I called today to see how it went and how you all were holding up, but you weren't home. Imagine that. I bet he will have all kinds of stories.
Good job Tanner. And Mommy!! What time did you say you were fixing breakfast? I'm sure it's better than the pop-tart I usually give my kids. LOL
Congrats on your move from mommy to parent. The early morning shopping experience... well if you've had it then you don't tell anyone else. That way it is never ruined. :)
It's an odd feeling..Day one, everyone was excited and took off on their own. I watched kids and parents cry...then Tuesday, Sarah jumped on the bus for the first time. I had tears in my eyes!! What the???? Go figure.
Ok, honesty time. That is the number one reason I chose to homeschool. Johnny and Erin would miss each other like crazy. They are 15 months apart, but they act like twins.
Got job Staci, you are such a great Mommy/Parent!
I didn't cry on Savannah's first day either. I was ready to drop her off!
