Today……28 years, to the day, after Law Man started Kindergarten, Big Guy had his very first day. It was emotional for everyone. Law Man argued with some faculty about which door we should enter. The Little Guy held on first to his brother’s hand and then gave him a dozen or more hugs. Big Guy chanted, “I’m not nervous, I’m not nervous.” I just stood and watched in amazement of how grown up he is and how old this makes me. I got most of my emotion out last night in the middle of the night with thoughts that went from….
“It’s just Kindergarten.”
“I still have him for thirteen more years…….oh gosh, only thirteen more years.”
“It’s not like it is the first day of high school or college……crap, I still have to make it through the first day of high school AND college.”
He was so proud to be going to such a big school!!!!
After I dropped him off, there might have been a few brief tears when I thought, “I need to call Mom and Nanny (my grandmother) and tell them about our big day.” Then I realized that Mom and Nanny are not here anymore to call. So, I just told them in my head. About an hour later, my stepmother called to tell me she and my dad were thinking about us on this special day. She has never tried to replace Mom and we both know that will not ever happen, but it meant the world to me that she called. It made my whole day!!!!
I have a lot more to share, but I still have the Little Guy home and it is best not to leave him unattended. 
!!! I will be back in a few days to share all about our “last day of summer,” the Meet and Greet, the Lego Party, and the list goes on and on….

So fun, Amy. Mac had a not-s0-perfect first day, but we’re not giving up. Actually, Mac says he is giving up, but I think we’ll all feel better after Legos and a good night sleep.
