First day of 6th grade and 1st grade

First day of school for these two best buddies. Can't explain how sad I was that neither of then wanted me to go with them on their first day! I think they really enjoy their freedom when they ride their bikes to school and I'm happy they are able to do it but was sad on this first day. 

Just last year I took Jojo and he held my hand with a little apprehension about starting kindergarten without knowing any kids. I guess I should be thankful that he has friends and always wants to make new friends and that he feels safe and cared for when he leaves to go to school each day. For that I am thankful. 

Now that they are gone for the day- I can do my happy dance! Is it too early to 

have a glass of wine? 🍷
