I dropped off Carter for his first day of second grade and you've never seen a more excited kid in your life. He sprang from bed and decided to take a bath to "smell good and look his best." Then began a whole routine of things he wanted to do to prepare including mouse, gel, hairspray, brush teeth four times, wear his new school shirt, his new heelies, and get all his supplies ready to load. We walked him to his line and with a quick kiss he completely forgot about us and chatted away with his old and new friends. I surprised myself for the third year in a row by crying. I'm a teacher for heavens sake-you'd think I'd get over the first day of school tears but I suppose it's different when you're a mom and your baby isn't a baby anymore. I can see it now... he begins his senior year of high school and there I am taking photos and blubbering at the front gate of the school, waving till I can't see him anymore. Boy...mom's are weird!
