Today was a very exciting day for my 5 year old Damian. He started kindergarten. He has been looking forward to this moment for a long time. He is such a people person and has been talking about meeting new friends for a while. All went well until the teacher kicked us parents out (aboout 45 minutes later). He got a little teary eyed and I felt bad about leaving him. When I returned a couple of hours later (which felt like a lifetime), he was all smiles and couldn't wait to tell me all about his wonderful day. I think he is going to adapt very well...I think I'm having a harder time with the separation than he is.
