Mixed Emotions

And there goes my baby - off to kindergarten.
It was a long and stressful decision - I ended up pulling Diego out of our district, due to the district's poor decision making and put him in a different district.
So far, I have no regrets breaking the mold and in my own small way taking a stand against our district.

Diego has two friends from preschool in his class (twins) and two more friends in another class from preschool.
As you can tell from the picture - the boy is READY!
Diego's personality is independent and carefree. Has has the gift of being able to "go with the flow". On his first day, he would have been more than willing to walk in the school and find his way. I think he liked having mom & dad because in his mind it was all about him. Every time he looked at us of course we were looking at him or taking his picture -- okay, it was all about him ;)
And of course, his one last shot - as he was getting settled into class, and I wanted one more picture. And with that I knew he was going to be fine.
I wish his teacher luck with the coming year - lol!
As for me, I have one week until the preschool starts up. I am busy with lesson prep and classroom arrangements. But I have to say, not having Diego around to "help", I have gotten work done a lot quicker and find myself twittering my thumbs watching the clock to hit 3pm.
Granted - it has only been 2 days.........
