*Kindergarten

I am proud to announce that I didn't cry much at all. This morning he was just killing me though. He got out of the shower and wrapped up in a blanket. He kept saying he was cold and shivering, but after a few minutes I realized he wasn't shivering because he was cold, he was shaking because he was nervous. He asked for waffles for breakfast, ate maybe one bite, then couldn't eat anymore.

He was *JUST* like his daddy. Bill gets like that when he is really nervous, it was so cute to see Jakob using Bill's mannerisms. Of course it also broke my heart because it made me feel even more like I didn't want to let him go.

I did really well though, the worst part was watching him walk off into his classroom with the teacher. He didn't look back or anything, just left.

I had to go to work right after we dropped him off, and I couldn't concentrate on a single thing all day long. Now I'm just waiting to go pick him up since he doesn't get out until 3 (Doesn't that seem like an awful long day for little kids? Drop off at 7:55am, pickup at 3pm). I feel comfortable with his teachers, which makes me really happy. I was afraid we wouldn't like them.

Also, Bill's schedule has been crazy since I've been working on Thursdays and Fridays now. On those days, he doesn't go in until 1:30, then has to work really late. Obviously this sucks especially with Jakob in school now, because Bill likely won't get to see him but for a few minutes in the morning. I've been trying to get him to warm up to the idea of taking the baby to work *with* him. A bunch of the other people have done it, why not him? Finally he decided to give it a try, and he was actually really pleased with the results. He said Jericho behaved wonderfully, and of course got a ton of attention. Plus Bill was able to get a lot of work done (he picked me up at one, and I drove him back up to work so that I can have the car to get Jakob from school) and won't have to work until the sun sets.

Just for the record, he doesn't take the baby in to the lab, he keeps him in the office to do computer and paper work, lest any of you think we expose our little man to hazardous chemicals.

So that was today in a nutshell. Hopefully tomorrow I'll do better with letting Jakob go to class on his own (although I doubt that will happen, I want to KNOW that he knows where his classroom is).
