K


All spruced up for his big day.

Kindergarten 2011

Maple Grove Elementary


Name tag and folder, it's feelin' official.

Pretty sure frenzied butterflies are sworming bout' now.


Deep breaths, Owen.

Holy....DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS!

It was tough leaving you, O....especially when you started to cry.

Mama didn't want to go, even when your teacher pushed/ushered me out the door, assuring me you'd be just fine.

I politely obliged and strolled Mr. Max right out into the hall, pretending to leave.
 
Then, real inconspicuously, I walked past your room a measly twenty times or so.

You were still crying.

I couldn't leave.

Max and I camped outside your classroom door for what seemed an eternity, ready to run in and whisk you away if need be.

Ya settled down.  Ya sang songs. Ya started to smile. 
Ya had a good time.

.....then it was just me and the Mr.,  feeling jealous of Kindergarten and your lucky friends who get to enjoy YOU the entire afternoon. 

Now Mr. Max, tell me.

How do you feel about Owen's new adventure and leavin' you home all alone with Mama?

U huh. I thought so.
