we told chet school would start when summer was over.
and today, when we woke up, it definitely felt like summer was over! it was so cold.
so we weren't kidding!
chet has been waiting for school to start for months.
he has been so excited to be a kindergartner.
and today was *finally* his day to begin.
last night, he laid out his clothes, packed up his backpack with all the things his teacher told his to bring, and got to bed early so he wouldn't be tired in the morning.
i thought (and maybe hoped?) that he would be a little sad to go this morning... but he wasn't.
he was such a brave little guy as we walked into school for the first time today.
(thankfully, he wasn't so brave that he didn't want to hold my hand though!)
i showed him the way to his class and his teacher took over from there.
i watched from a distance as he hung up his backpack, put on his indoor shoes, found his name tag, and made his way to the rug.
my goodness, my little chetty seemed so grown up when i walked out of the classroom.
and, in the ridiculously emotional state i am in these days, it was sure hard on my heart.
but i am so happy for him. i know he will love it.
i sure am going to miss him though.
and holden too!
when we went to pick him up, holden ran to chet and gave him a hug.
it was seriously the sweetest thing.
those boys are honestly BEST friends.
i am excited to see chet learn and grow this year, he will do great.
