First Grade!

I've been dreading the first day of school for Ty for awhile now so I'm glad that we finally got it over with! Ty started 1st grade this year at Providence elementary school with Mrs. Downs as his teacher.  She is a intern so I was worried about what kind of teacher she will be like.  So far she seems to be good and Ty seems to like her.  The whole night before his first day I had a hard time sleeping because I was worried about him getting lost or kids being mean to him. It's weird for a mom who has been there for everything in his life to not know what he is doing all day anymore. I always know what he ate, who he played with, what he was playing, what he was doing.  Everything!  It's a odd lost of control for lack of a better word in my kids life. It's a good thing don't get me wrong but a hard one too!  I hope he acts the way he should and pays attention to what his teacher says. I hope he makes friends and fees successful at school.  He is having a little bit of a hard time adjusting to going all day.  When he gets home he is kind of emotional and has a short fuse.  I have to let him unwind for a little while before he starts acting like normal Ty.  He is just really tired I think.  Almost every mom I talk to says the same thing about their kids with 1st grade so I'm not too worried about it.  I'm glad he has a few kids in his class he knew from last year.  He was really excited about eating school lunch and was upset I sent him with a sack lunch the first day.  I guess he wanted to be like the other kids.  I love my handsome little guy and MISS HIM while he is at school!
