August 28, 2013 finally showed its face to my little sunshine boy! He got up like a champ, ate breakfast, put on a brand new outfit with his new shoes, and let me fix his hair real nice. Time was ticking slowly for this little guy that Morning. Every five minutes he would ask if it was time to go yet.
Just waking up, still very early and dark
All ready to go
Baby brother wanted to be by his side
Talon loves his Wyatt

Had to get one of his back packAs we walked into the school hand in hand his smile quickly melted, he realized just how many kids and unfamiliar faces there were walking around scrambling trying to find their classrooms and to meet their new teachers. I walked him to his classroom and helped him hang up his backpack and jacket. I felt a tear roll down my cheek, as I thought back to the day he was born and how perfect and beautiful he was. Nothing else mattered in the whole world but him. His little hand grabbed a little tighter to mine just as the first bell rang to start his very first day of school ever in his life. A day that he had been waiting for, for a very long time.
Before I walked away, I leaned over to give him a hug and I guess I didn't realize just how many tears were rolling down my cheek. His little arms fit so perfectly around my neck when he wispered in my ear these precious words that i will forever hold close to my heart for the rest of my life. "Mom I will be ok" "You don't have to cry when I am happy" "I will always be your sunshine boy" he must have known that is what I needed to hear in order to be able to let go and walk back to my car.
The day seemed like it was never going to end, all I wanted to know is how my baby boy was doing? Or if he even likes it? Was it what he was expecting, or more? Does he know anybody or is he feeling alone? Is he missing me as much as I miss him? Will he get on the right school bus that takes him to the daycare after school? And on and on it played over and over in my head.
At 3:30 sharp I called him at the daycare from work to see if he made it there ok. He immediately started telling me about his day and talking so fast I could barely hear a word he was saying. I was just so glad to hear his first day went very well. He loved it!
My little sunshine boy is growing up, wheather I want him to or not. He has his whole life ahead of him, still so much to learn. And this was only the first day. I think I had a worse time adjusting to this new adventure than he did. But this is a big day for little kids, and mothers only want their babies to feel safe and comforted at all times. He has already shown his momma just how tough he can be, it takes courage and strength to walk away from your momma at such a young age without even looking back. So proud of my handsome Mr.
I love u baby boy.... To the Moon and Back!!
