Kellen's 1st day of school

Kellen's first day of pre-school was yesterday.  He is actually going to play group at pre-school and he will go to actual pre-school next year.  We had planned on sending him to pre-school this year and next, but then I found out that this year the teacher changed it to all day pre-school.  Last year Tyson just went two mornings a week.  And I being the selfish person that I am was not ready to send Kellen to school two full days a week already!!  That will be here soon enough. 

He was pretty excited to finally get to go to school like his older brother.

Leaving him at school was way harder than it ever has been with Tyson.  Tyson is always a little nervous at first, but he gets to school he's like see ya mom.  Kellen on the other hand was excited to go and he didn't seem nervous, but he kept telling me on the way to school that he wanted to stay with him, that he would need help coloring, etc.  The teacher was very understanding, and after about 10 minutes of trying to convince him that I was going to be leaving, but would be back to get him real soon, the teacher came and distracted him while I left.  I was so worried for him all morning, but when I went to pick him up she said he did really well.

I wasn't feeling well yesterday at all, but I knew Kellen needed me to take him to school.  Kevin offered to take him, but I thought I needed to since it was his first day, probably just more for myself than that Kellen actually needed me.  Anyways,  halfway over to school, I realized that I forgot his registration papers and the payment.  Then when we got there all of the kids had their name tags on that the teacher gave us at the open house.  So when school was out I just took all of the stuff I had forgotten in the morning.  But worst of all it hit me hours after he was home from school that he was supposed to take something for show and tell and wear red.  I felt horrible for forgetting, but I had a somewhat good excuse I guess.  I will be a much better mom for pre-school next week!!
