Lincoln Begins Kindergarten!

The day came that I was dreading all summer! Lincoln however has been looking forward to it all summer. He couldn't wait. I took Palmer to school in the morning and Lincoln was so devastated to find out that he had to wait all the way until after lunch to go to school.
Finally the time came for him to go to school and he was nearly bouncing off the walls (as was Hunter).
He couldn't wait to get to school!
The closer we got however he more nervous he got.
"Mom what are you doing?" "Lincoln just keep walking and act normal."

We got in the classroom and Lincoln was shown his table and a coloring page. There were so many people everywhere that he started to get very quiet.
He sat down and started coloring and kept his head down. It broke my heart! He was so brave though and was still smiling and excited.
I had a very hard time letting go of him, but he was so READY to start his kindergarten experience.
Hunter missed him during the day and was so sad to find out that he didn't start preschool for yet ANOTHER WEEK! I was so anxious for him and worried (needlessly) the whole day! Why do I have such a hard time letting go of these boys? I know that they are going to grow in wonderful ways and enjoy their experiences, but I just struggle that someone else will be with them as much as I am. I am so grateful for good teachers.
First time offf the bus. He loved it!
He came home glowing! I loved every second of it. He has since said "Mom, I love school and Miss Jensen," right out of the blue. That isn't like Lincoln so I know he really did love it!
