First day of kindergarten!

Lincoln woke up groggy
I helped him get dressed
He had leftover cake from Carter's bd party yesterday and milk 
He was excited to carry his lunch satchel & pull his rolling backpack.
Daddy dropped us off and parked 
When we got to the classroom, there were a few people in front of us.  When it was our turn, Lincoln gave Mrs. Walker a chocolate pretzel.   I asked for a hug but he was focused on the classroom.  So I gave him a hug and left.

Carter:  I don't want Lincoln to go in there!  (Tearing up). He misses Lincoln already.

Daddy showed up and peeked in the classroom.  They were saying the pledge.  L didn't even see us.  

A lot of parents were hovering outside the door in the hall.  I'm a hug & go person at drop off.  Lots of parents got teary but I just felt guilty for not being able to take our time getting ready on the morning of his first day of kindergarten. It's a huge milestone.
