Today was also the first day (so far) that AJ cried when I dropped him off at school. I have to leave him outside, and his teacher isn't out there. Today, I couldn't see any teacher at all, so I found his friends and sent him over to stand by them. I was going to watch him until I saw a teacher. He walked a few steps, and turned around and yelled my name and ran to me. I almost burst into tears myself.

He told me that he wanted me to leave him with his teacher (which I wasn't allowed to do), but I did find the teacher on duty (actually, she came running when she heard him cry out). He had met her yesterday, so at least she was a familiar face. She took his hand and started leading him to his class. All the sudden, he turned back around, and still crying, he said, "can I please have a hug, mommy?" I wanted to just bring him back home. Being the good mom I am though, I hugged him tight and then told him to have a "fabulous yellow day". And I walked to the car.

Sigh. Being a mom is hard. I miss him.

Drew got into the action too, by wearing his yellow shirt:


His yellow lunch which included a banana, a few chips, a yellow bag of cookies, a sandwich (not yellow), raisins (yellow writing on the box), and lemonade. His lunches are normally more healthy than that, but I didn't have much healthy yellow food.
