Mark and I walked Alex to his first day of Kindergarten. All of the children line up with their teacher and walk single file into their school. Alex gets the advantage or maybe I should say temptation of getting to stroll through the playground to get to his classroom. The look on his face as I got ready to walk away was almost heart-breaking. He was one sad looking kid. It was almost as hard on Daddy. We watched from afar through the fence as he stood looking outside from the doorway. I know he was searching for us in the crowd of parents.

I'll be there promptly at 2:30 anxiously waiting to know about his first big day.
