The first day of school, 2009 was a big milestone for the kids. Wyatt was starting 4th grade and Josie started 2nd, they were both entering a new building.
Wyatt was nervous about going into the 4th grade, as he tends to be about all major changes. Josie was excited about going into 2nd grade, she has the same teacher that Wyatt did and she has had the opportunity to spend time in her new school, so she was ready to march right back into the school year.
The big day for Dad and Mom however, was on the second day of school. This is the day (the first day ever) that we didn't take them to school personally.
Wyatt rode his bike to and from school. I don't think he has ever been so proud of himself before.
Josie walked to school with a little boy from next door (another 2nd grader), oh my goodness did they look small. She was so full of smiles and self-confidence as she started off.
While I resisted the urge to follow either of them...it was the most nerve wracking day I think I have experienced thus far as a parent.
I am often taken aback by how grown up they are becoming, how independent they want to be.
