LUKE IS OFF TO SCHOOL!!

MY SWEET LUKE IS OFF TO MOTHER'S DAY OUT AT FIRST BAPTIST. I SIGNED HIM UP WITH SOME RESERVATIONS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT HE WAS READY. HE REALLY MISSES MILES NOW THAT HE IS IN KINDERGARTEN SO I THOUGHT WE WOULD TRY IT. HERE HE IS WITH HIS BACKPACK ALL READY TO GO. HE WAS EXCITED ABOUT HIS CLASS. WHEN WE GOT THERE HE WAS STILL IN A GOOD MOOD ABOUT BEING THERE. WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR MOMMY TO LEAVE ALL HECK BROKE LOOSE. HE SCREAMED AND CRIED AND HELD ONTO ME. I FINALLY HAD TO LET HIM GO AND THE TEACHER TOOK HIM. I STAYED IN THE HALL AND CRIED FOR 20 MINUTES UNTIL HIS CRIES FINALLY SUBSIDED. I CALLED AND CHECKED ON HIM ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND HE WAS DOING FINE. WHEN I PICKED HIM UP THAT DAY HE RAN TO ME AND SAID HE LOVED SCHOOL. HE TOLD ME ABOUT DANCING IN MUSIC, MAKING A BUTTERFLY, AND PLAYING OUTSIDE. IT SEEMED TO BE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE ONCE THE SHOCK OF ME LEAVING HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME WAS OVER.
