Back to School!

I survived my first week back at work and Gavin survived his first week of school. This week has flown by with new teacher orientation, staff development meetings, and tons of training. My poor baby boy has had to get up at 6:15 every morning. He didn't cry the first day, but he cried when I left him everyday after that. I cried right along with him. Leaving him was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I know it sounds silly, but it was. I would call and check on him as soon as I got to work and most of the time he had settled down. Everyone keeps telling me he will get used to it and the crying will stop. I am praying for that day, because I don't know how much more I can take. My mom picks him up early each day so he is not there for so long. She assures me that when she walks in to his room he is smiling and playing with his friends. This new schedule is going to be an adjustment for all of us, but I know it is for the best. I am extremely excited to be back in the classroom and meet my kids. I will post some pics of Gavin in his school gear soon.
