first day of kindergarten

OK, OK, time for the lament of a mother who sees the time fleeting - boo hoo. With mixed feelings I took Titus to Briarcliff Elementary today for his first day of kindergarten. The biggest milestone of his young life. He, like me, was a mix of emotion. All excitement and cheese until we walked through the doors into the sea of waiting kids. After meeting his principal and telling a few jokes outside, he was ready to go.

Ms. Stolper, his teacher, has a great reputation, as does Mr. Sutton, the principal, and Briarcliff school in general. We couldn't feel better about our decision to get him into that particular school. But it is still sobering to have him begin this phase of his life.

After school, we'll post a report from Titus about his day. Here he is at home with his new backpack given to him by his friends at Knickleberry Street (ICNaz kids' church), full of school supplies. I also got a couple of pix in his classroom with Ms. Stolper and his table.
