We got a post card in the mail on Friday August 17 letting the parents know that on Monday, August 20 there would be a Kindergarten sneak peek... talk about panic. I called my good co-worker friend Laurie Koga and she was able to come cover me at work so I could take my little guy.
We checked out the school and went on a scavenger hunt. We got to meet his teachers and then we took off. It was great. No tears from Mom on this trip. While we were there we learned that there would be an open house on Tuesday night. So on Tuesday night we drove back out to Kuna just to go over things one more time.
In all the paper work I had from the Kindergarten sneak peak I was confused about what time to drop him off. There is a learning curve with this going to school business. We went through the school again and I stopped in his room with him to look at his desk and while I was in there I asked his teacher about dropping him off. Ask soon as I started speaking my voice cracked and my eyes welled up. Once I started crying, I couldn't stop. And that entire night while I was making his lunch and packing his bag, I still couldn't stop. I wasn't sure if he could poke the straw into his juice box or open his fruit snacks. There was so much I hadn't thought about and it just added to the anxiety of it all.
I promised Brian that by Wednesday morning I would be composed and do my best to keep my composure for the big day! I am so glad that I went to the sneak peak and the open house because Colton was so confident the second time visiting the school. I knew he would do great!
