"Open House"

Today was Open House night at your new school Landon! We gathered your school supplies and all loaded up to head to Stockwell. I know you were a little nervous, because Mommy was extremely nervous! We met your principal, Mrs. Schnell, who Poppie worked very closely with in his many years with Bossier schools. Then we headed down the kindergarten wing, and discovered that you were in Mrs. Theodus's class, along with Sante and Abby from your preschool, and Samantha from church! We were a little overwhelmed as we took it all in: the decorations, your desk, sorting school supplies, forms to fill out, and all the new friends you will make. Once we were finished in your classroom, Mommy took a walk down memory lane to her kindergarten teacher's room. Mrs. Green still teaches kindergarten almost thirty years later. When I told her who I was, the look on her face was priceless! She almost fell out when she saw all the familiar faces and a few new ones too. Then I got to see my childhood best friend, Tina, who teaches third grade down the way. We ordered our many t-shirts and even took one home tonight. Of course, you had to wear it to bed. I think much of the angst and worry may have lightened up (I know it did for me!). Knowing I have many people looking out for you helps me rest a little easier. Now just a few days before the start of KINDERGARTEN!
