School Days

Today is Zak's first day at school and the first time he has been away from me. Isabel was very excited to show Zak the ropes today and promised him he wouldn't be scared. Getting all their gear to school was a chore. I had to schlep around three bags plus his car seat... there's definitely room for some process improvement there! Isabel was bouncing around the infant room while I put away all his things. And how did Zak handle the excitement? By falling asleep! I laid him in his crib and Isabel and I blew him kisses before heading to her classroom.

I did fine at the school but must admit to shedding a few tears when I got home. I hope he does great. He's a pretty mellow little boy so I'm sure he's fine... but I'll be picking him up early every day this week to make sure, not to mention I want to squeeze in some more baby-love time. While he's at school, I'll be running errands, cleaning, and getting in some "me" time. By the end of this week my atrocious mom hair will be gone and I'll hopefully be presentable for work next week.

Update: Zak had a great first day at school. However, his teacher told me that "he, um, had a lot of gas"... Ha! You don't know the half of it, lady!
