[UPDATE] Day 0.5

Today was Jacob's half day transition into kindergarten.

I thought he was going to be thrilled.

He was less than thrilled.  This was the boy who was asking non-stop if it was his day to go to school.

The teacher had told us on parent orientation day to make the drop off quick, so I walked him into the gym and said good-bye and went to take his nap mat to the teacher's room.

The last picture I have of him is sitting on the gym floor, legs crossed, and chin in his hand.  It was enough to make even the most hardened heart break.

Hopefully, the day will get better as he actually gets into the groove of school.

**********************************************************************************
I picked up Jacob this afternoon.  I prayed the entire way to school that it was a good day.

Success!

He was all smiles and happy to know that he would be coming back to school tomorrow.  It was made all the better when I told him tomorrow would be his first trip on the bus.  He pulled out the projects they had worked on during the day.  Kindergarten is the best grade at bringing home cute art projects.

And of course...

"Mommy, when we get home can I have snack?"
