First day

Just a report on James first day. While waiting to pick him up. I'm feeling more like a mom than usual. I have experienced several stages in my kids lives where I feel more like a mom than other times. One other was when the kids were being rambunctious at bed time and I had to tell them to settle down or else. Just these weird pictures of me doing something that I may or may not remember my mom or dad doing, then bam it's me, I'm a parent, weird.
So I wait. Tell them who I'm picking up. Wait. Make it all the way to the front of the line. Notice a slew of kids standing outside but my child is not. Yikes! I see the principle she asks who I'm picking up. James......then I see James teacher go inside 5 minutes later out comes James with a monster grin.
Hops in the car and away we go.
Mom some kids ate in the cafeteria.
Well where did you eat?
In the cafeteria, butI want the schools lunch!
Really? Well I'll look into that. How was your day?
Good. I have 2 new friends. And a new girlfriend.
Oh boy. That's great.
What did you do after lunch?
So and so was having a hard time listening today. But he was helpful so it was better.
Oh.
I ate all my lunch. But some lady threw my chips away before I was finished. I said hey! I was gonna eat those!
Well make sure if you still want your food to put it back in your lunchbox.
Yeah.

I couldn't get much out of him after that. Just a few things scattered throughout the day. I do know that I heard not a peep from his room as soon as we shut the door. Kindergarten must be tiring.
