Growing Up

Yesterday was Riker's first day of Pre-K. His teacher's name is Mrs. Pritts and she seems nice. He is so proud of his back pack and lunch box. He thinks he is so grown up now. Yesterday mom took the girls to school so I could take him to his first day. He had breakfast in the cafeteria and when I began instructing him on what to do with his tray when he was done he stopped me, told me he knew, and told me what he needed to do with it. On our walk from the cafeteria to his class he told me that I could go home now and leave him at school. I dropped him off at his class and left shortly after since he began ignoring me and didn't really want me there. :( I was so anxious to pick him up and hear about his first day. I get there and he looks at me like he was disappointed I showed up. He asked me if we were going to ride the bus and when I told him no he began to cry. He started to tell me he was a big boy and big boys ride the school bus home. He said he really wanted to ride it and told me, "Talk to dad. I wanna ride the bus." I called and told Sean the problem. Today he will be riding the bus to our house and I will wait for him there. He is getting on the bus in just one hour and my stomach is in knots. I am a nervous wreck! I know he will be fine. But I am FREAKING OUT!!!
