First day of school

Poor Riley at the Dr. the night before school started, doesn't he just look happy!
This is the only picture he would let me take, hence, the holding on with dear life to good old Mom!Kalli, Mrs. LaDawn and her friend Jerzi on the first day, she is the happiest girl in town!

On Monday the kid's both had their first day of school. Riley is going into 2nd and Kalli's last year of pre-school. We knew it was time to start because the kid's were fighting and getting sooo bored all the time, we just needed to have that set schedule again.

So, we went to my parents for dinner on Sunday and my parents were talking to them both about starting school. Kalli was really excited to go and see Mrs. LaDawn again but Riley was super quiet about it. As we were driving home Riley just started to cry and told me his ear hurt, he would just cry out in pain. Needless to say we ended up in the instacare that night and sure enough he has an ear infection (and it was a pretty good one). So of course he is already freaking out about starting school and now he is worried about his ear hurting him.

Monday comes and I take Riley to school and walk him around back to where his class lines up as soon as we turn the corner most of his buddies from last year are all in the "other" D-track class. He goes and stands in line with the rest of his class and as soon as the teacher comes out he immediately turned to me his eyes filled with HUGE tears and runs toward me and hangs on for dear life. The classes all start going in but Riley would not let go of me, so Kalli and I have to walk him inside to his classroom and he has his head buried into me. The cute teacher came out and was trying to talk to him but he just kept yelling out "take me home Mom!" so she told him tell your Mom good-bye and I am counting to 3 then I will take you into class so she did and she had to literally pry him off of me and I just walked away, it was horrible. I saw some of my friends outside and I just had to walk right on by and go straight to the car and called Jett and just started to bawl. In the back of the car Kalli says to me "I knew you were going to cry when you talked to Dad".

Now, I have it pulled together just hoping he is having a great time so now it is Kalli's turn but she has already told me "Don't worry my I am not nerbous", I take her to school she grabs her little bag and darts out the car door before I can even open my door. So I walk into class to get pictures and she is telling Mrs. LaDawn "You should have seen Riley he was having a huge meltdown, but I am so excited". I grabbed some pictures and she says "okay Mom you can leave now see you in a little while".

All went well with Kalli at school she loved every minute of it and was just so happy to see all her little girlfriends again. Riley survived the first day he told me that he cried for a bit but then he says "I looked around and just decided I better just have fun!". All is well and they both enjoy school.
