Raegen had his first day of preschool today.
{below pic idea came from Pinterest...LOVE}
We had a sitter come stay with the babies so B and I could both take him on his first day. I wasn't so much concerned about Raegen, but myself! Raegen has been looking forward to school ALL summer. I knew he would be just fine {not to mention I have a secret spy that can pop in his classroom at any time and make sure he's okay...and give me updates and pics!!}.
I, on the other hand, know that this new step means my baby boy is growing up and it breaks my heart. I'm realizing that even when we know we are making the right decision, there are still tears, and that is okay.
I thought it was so sweet that he held his daddy's hand as he walked in the school. We made our way down the hallway and as soon as he spotted his teacher's door he dropped that hand and ran right in...to the toys!!! haha He was ready to play!! Mrs. B kindly and quickly redirected him to his seat.
It was at that point that I could hold it in no longer so it was time to G-O. I can't imagine what it will feel like next year when he goes to kindergarten. Oh.my.heart.is.hurting.
It was a strange day without my little king and I could tell Lynden missed him too. I'm glad Raegen didn't miss us though. I'm glad he is so eager to experience new things and places- I can take NO credit for that! And most of all, I'm thankful for my "secret spy" that is at school and available for Raegen if he needs her.
