First day of school!

JR's first day of school was yesterday.  I think he was a little nervous but he wouldn't admit it.  He had a good day and everything thing went well.  I didn't even cry, I knew he wouldn't.  I have been crying for almost a week, just thinking about him going to school.  So Mike gave me a priesthood blessing, along with JR and the other kiddos for FHE last monday.  I am so grateful for the priesthood, and for Mike who is worthy to hold it and use it.  I have had no anxiety about JR going to school since then.  The thing that drives me crazy during the day is waiting for 3:40 pm to come, so we can go meet him at the bus.  It seems likes it takes forever to get here, and it seems like he is gone for so long during the day.  I really don't know why they think kindergarteners need to have a full day of school.  I asked him what he did on his first day and he told me they learned a new song. Of course they did other things, but all I can think about is, why do you have to go to school for 7 hours so you can learn a new song.  I obviously miss him while he is not here, but I know this is all about growing up and it is good for him.  AJ has been doing good at home without his brother, but right now it's a novelty.  He can play with JR's legos and not have to share as much, although Annie torments him at times, but I think he will soon discover how much he misses his big brother being home during the day.
