Back to School for James

My sweet little buddy started back to Mothers' Morning Out this week and boy was he excited! This is his second year at First Baptist Church, and he loved it so much last year. When we walked into the church for "Back to School Night" Tuesday night, he shouted "My school!!!!" He was obviously very excited to see his friends again! How thankful I am for this precious program that we have been a part of for so many years.

When Wednesday morning came around, James was r-e-a-d-y for school, and Grafton was excited for him. When I dropped Grafton off that morning she said, "Now Mommy, you know you will still have Price at home with you, right?! You won't be all alone...." She remembered how much I cried when she started school this year, and she just assumed I would be a basket case again!! hahaha- she is such a sweetheart!

BUT, I held it together all morning....even as we drove up the driveway to church and James asked where Grafton was (because he loved walking into MMO with her each morning). James's teacher came to the door to get him, and as he was getting out of the car he stopped, turned around, and walked back to me. He stretched over to give me a sweet kiss, a dimply grin, and said "I love you, Mommy!" Then he headed off with his teacher. THAT is when the tears came! What a precious little boy James is...my little buddy...Happy first day of school for you my little James!
