Today couldn’t have gone any smoother for which I am SO thankful! My guess is that I suffered enough last year with weeks of tears and heartache. My son was calm and collected, a far off comparison to last year. His teacher who seems sweet, relatable and friendly had an impact as well. When I picked him up he was smiling, said his day was GREAT! It bought tears to my eyes. For those of you that may not have followed me last year, I spent weeks of worrying at work, because for three weeks he cried every morning at drop off. And my daughter who’s been excited about going to VPK (aka pre-k) did me proud as well. No tears, ready for the day and it made my day so much smoother. I hope that everyone else who has children that started school today, started a few weeks ago or are starting soon have a joyful, calm and enjoyable school year. Here is my little girl showing the class pet her little model of herself.
My son had homework on our first day, it’s the big leagues now, ha! 
Addison received this cute gift bag from her teacher. I love creative gifts like this with so much meaning. Very thoughtful. 
This year we prepared well and had an amazing first day. The only oopsie i’d say I made was to deliver my son’s school supply in this bag. Do you think the teacher thinks I’m a lush, Oh My, I crack myself up.
