Cameron finally talks
Cameron finally opened up a little about school tonight when I was putting him to bed. He told me that one of his friends was teasing him and he didn't like it. I asked him what he was teasing him about and he said, "Abigail keeps blowing me kisses and I am done with that. I do not even want her to blow me any more kisses at all. He said that I fell in love with her." Cameron also said that he is not in love with Abigail at all and he cannot even decide who he is going to marry. He also told me that Abigail likes his hair. It was so sweet to listen to him talk. He told me so much that was on his little mind and thank goodness it was all so minor. The next most serious issue was about another little girl who stuck her tongue out at him and called him a "fart head". I was so proud of him because he said that he did not even tell his teacher at all, he kept it to himself. Last year I'm pretty sure he told his teacher if someone looked at him wrong. It was so nice to get a little glimpse into something about his day.
Mackenzie's First Day of School
Mackenzie was such a big girl today. She constantly amazes me. She is so much more capable than I give her credit for. I think I underestimate her because she is tiny. She is strong and confident and makes me so proud. I could not take my eyes off of her today. I look at her and can't believe she is mine. She loves everything that a mom would hope her little girl would love. She loves princesses and Barbies. She likes pretty dresses and bows in her hair. Tomorrow I drop her off at school by herself for the first time. I can't even imagine that little thing in someone else's care. It breaks my heart to think that she will miss me or need me. Her little friend Olivia is in her class. They played at the park together today and had a blast. Mackenzie was excited about a Dora house that was in her class room. When Cameron got in the car today she told him all about her yellow class room and Olivia being there. She told him about the Dora house and the train track. Listening to them talk to each other is the greatest thing in the world. She was so proud of herself that she could tell him about her classroom. I know she felt so big. I hope that tomorrow her little heart is happy.

First Day of School
I can't believe Cam is in Kindergarten. I have never been so worried about anything as I was about this. I mostly was worried about how I would handle being without him. I knew he could handle it, he is so social and happy, but I also knew how quiet the house would be without him. I have been so angry thinking about how school will have him for more hours a day than I will. I still struggle with this. You have to hope that everything you have given them in their first 5 years is strong enough to withstand all of the other influences they are going to be around.
His first day was awesome. He was great when I dropped him off. He was so sweet and happy. He looked so handsome in his uniform. After his first day he got in the car and said "Mom, I love school!". The next two days have gone just as well. I am so proud of him. I can hardly believe he is so big and confident to go all day on his own and be so well behaved. Mackenzie and I have had a good time together. The first day was pretty hard. I pretty much stayed out of the house so I wouldn't notice how lonely it was without him. When he got home from school that day he was walking through the hallway and Mackenzie went up to him and wrapped both arms around him and just held on. We talk about him and wonder about what he is doing. We have cleaned out the fridge and 2 closets. Mackenzie is so fun to do stuff like that with. She loves to help me and she talks to me the whole time.
Every day gets easier. Knowing that he is happy helps so much. He is extremely exhausted when he gets home. We definately need to work out the kinks in our schedule. He gets home and just wants to play with the neighbors and keep going strong. He is not eating enough in his lunch, today nothing at all. I think after this week he and I both will know more about what to expect. Thanks to everyone who worried and thought about us during this huge transition.
