I can't believe Kingston has started Kindergarten. I got up around 5:45 this morning so I could be to Natalie's house in time to ride to school. The boys were a mess this morning! It was like herding cats. Kingston finally got dressed and I took him outside for a few pictures. He asked why I was doing that and I told him it was tradition. We asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He didn't know- of course. Natalie asked him if he wanted to be a veterinarian, an army man, a banker, a chef, he said no to all of those. Then, he looked at her and said, "I want to rob banks." Natalie laughed and then he replied, "I want to work with money." That's a much better choice.
He ate an egg and cheese burrito on the way to school. We walked around the back of the school from the community center. When we passed a police officer, Grayson said, "You'd better be good or they will shoot you." We couldn't help but laugh. We found his classroom and cubby hole. Kingston put up his lunch box, water bottle, and backpack. We took a few pictures and then he found his seat. He was coloring when we left. He seemed a little nervous, but his teacher said he had a great day. I think it's going to be a good year!
All this morning I kept thinking how Chris was supposed to be there. I'm so thankful and glad I get to be part of his life- I've missed school mornings no matter how chaotic they are. I miss packing lunches and picking kids up from school. Those are precious memories and ones I want to help with when I can. Still though, I'd give anything to have Chris walk down the hall and say, "Dude man Melissa, you take way too many pictures and run a tight ship." Yep Chris, I sure do.
