Picture This!

Dear Alex Ryan:

Today was your first day of pre-school.

You couldn’t wait to wear your ‘new school shoes’ and be a ‘big school boy’. It is so hard to imagine that you are old enough to go to pre-school. It makes me a bit sad to know that you are growing up and becoming independent. I will miss you so much on school days.

I couldn’t help but smile when you walked into your classroom today. You were excited and confident.

I thought about you all morning. I wondered if you were minding your manners. If you were making friends. If you were missing Stevie. If you were missing me and daddy. I wanted you to have a great time and enjoy every second of it. I wished I could have watched you through the window.

When the time came to pick you up, I was excited to hear all about your day. I watched as your class appeared at the top of the steps. I could tell you had a great day!

As  you walked to the van from the car-pool line, you were smiling and yelling in all caps ‘LOOK MOM, I GOT A NEW FOLDER’

When I asked you how your day at school was, you replied, “It was a great day. I got a new school folder, but I don’t think I have a homework, I got to play outside for recess and everybody loved my new school shoes.”

Sweet boy, if everyone likes your shoes, it is indeed a good day.

I am so happy that you had a great first day at school. I love you, sweet boy!

Love, Mama

I’m also happy that my beloved Canon PowerShot A720 was able to capture the memory for all of eternity (and for McDaddy who is working out of town this week!).

The Canon powershot works for me.
