First Day of School

Cy's first day of school....

before I get to that let me tell you...I have been dreading this day for months! I kept worrying about what was going to happen. For all those who know Cy, know that he does not like changes or new enviroments or new faces. I have stayed home with him for five years so maybe that didn't help out much because he is not use to meeting strangers. Even at church you've might of heard him screaming when it's time to go to class. Even though he knows the routine sometimes he just has (what I like to call them) a Cy moment! (**Sigh**)

Well we have been talking to him a lot that when he turns 5 he will be a big boy and go to school like his brother. So when he did turn five in june he was excited! He kept asking how many days til he goes to school. We kept talking about school and all the things he will get to do like drink chocolate milk Everyday! So last week we went to Open House at the school and we met his teacher. He seemed to like her he didn't hide behind my leg or have a "Cy moment". I talked with the teacher and asked her worst case scenerio if Cy has a "Cy moment" scream and yell what would she like me to do just continue to leave or stay with him to calm him down... she said to continue to leave... that he would be alright she has dealt with criers and screamers before. I didn't feel any better. We went shopping, got new shoes and haircuts. He was so excited all weekend I kept telling him "you know mom isn't going to stay with you right" and he would say "I know" but I just couldn't believe that it was going to be that easy...

Sooooo Monday morning was their first day of school. I woked him up to get ready. No problems. We got to the school. No Problems. The teacher invited all parents to stay for a book reading with the kids so I sat down the book is called "The kissing Hand" (you have to read this book) still no problems. I got teary eyed during the story. The teacher than gave all the students a sticker heart on thier hand and than all the parents a sticker heart. She told all the children to make sure that they kiss thier moms hands and cy gave me this look like yea right you know I'm not going to kiss your hand... so I gave his a big kiss and told him that I would leave mine on all day and think of him! Still no problems.Than it was time to give hugs and say bye. I gave him a great big hug and said okay bye I'll see you later... and cy said bye! with no problem! I walked away looked back to see if he was looking at me walk out and nope he was fine! I was soooooooooo shocked I was filled with different emotions. I was proud that he was such a big boy and I was happy that there was no problems but I was a little sad that he didn't have any problem saying bye!

So there you have it all the worring that I did and Cy was fine. Here we are on Wednesday and I just walk him to his door and there are still no problems!

He is in the 6th grade this year and he has his favorite teacher for his homeroom class. He is pretty excited about that. His math class which is his favorite subject is with a teacher we are not very fond of but he has a pretty good attitude about it. He is already invited to the math competition later on in the year. He will still be a jr librarian and has already started being a teacher aid. We are so proud of him and all the things he does. He is eleven years old and soon will be twelve and just over the past few weeks we already have seen some of the transformations that happen when your kids become teenagers! His taste is changing, instead of skecher shoes he always wants and loves he decided to go with Nike this year! It starts $$$$$$$$$$$
