I made it. *sigh of relief*

Yay - we survived my Shadow's first day of school!!! 😁 I feel so relieved; today went over pretty smoothly. I was pleasantly surprised, although it was bittersweet. We (me, Shadow, and The Nick) were all excited, but I think I was the only one who was a little sad about it. I guess that's the mom in me. We never want our babies to grow up. That's a really hard thing to deal with sometimes because you know you have to let them go no matter how hard it is to do so. But I'm really proud of myself - I didn't even cry. OK... well, I did a little on the way to work, but I contained myself better than I thought I would. I think that was mostly because of Shadow - he was all smiling and happy so I knew he'd be fine. 😊

Now to brag a little:  I got a call from his teacher a few hours after I got home and she said he was the best student in the class. She was telling me that he used good manners and did what he was supposed to do without being told more than once. And she said she looked forward to having him in her class the rest of the year. That freakin' made my day. 😁😁😁 My kiddo ROCKS!!! 😁😁😁
