1st Full day of Kindergarten :)

Ryan's First Day of Kindergarten

Ryan's First day of Kindergarten started off by Sammy scratching him across the face when he tried to tell Sammy goodbye--Sammy didn't mean too! Last week while it was just Ryan and myself home and heard him one day sitting in Sammy's box talking to Sammy. "Sammy, it's okay. I know that you are scared because I have never been to Kindergarten before. I know that it is scary for you to worry about me going to a new school with new friends, but I will be alright." Dogs are wonderful therapy and that is without question true for Ryan.

I left Ryan at his little desk today feeling much anxiety as he had big crocodile tears in his eyes. I was not ready for today! But we both did it! I might add that Paul also shed a few tears this morning--it was hard for all of us. Bren was even upset when he realized that he would not have recess or lunch with Ryan so he could watch out for him and told Jennifer that it would be up to her to keep him safe! :)

He survived his day of 2 1/2 hours and got Ice Cream for dinner as daddy announced a "dinner holiday" in honor of Ryan's first day of school. There was much cheering heard by all--especially because dinner was a mixed food (a meal with all the ingredients in one dish)!
