Am I really old enough to have a 1st and 2nd grader?

As I walked my kids to their classrooms on Tuesday morning for their first day of school I had to take a deep breath and try my hardest to be strong. It seems like they just entered our lives and here we are taking them to school, leaving them in the hands of someone else for the entire day. There is so much uncertainty and I get so nervous. My kids, on the other hand, are much stronger than I am. I ask if they're going to hug me and they say "yeah, in the car!". Since when did it become "un-cool" to hug their mom? On the first day of first grade Tai hangs up his backpack and runs down the hall saying "I'm going to the playground!". Trey hangs up his backpack and goes directly to his desk to start coloring a page left on their desks by the teacher. At the end of the day, Tai tells me "I met a really cool friend and had an awesome day". Trey tells me "I began the day with zero friends because I didn't know anyone, but I ended the day with 20 new friends, and 20 out of 22 isn't bad!"(There are 22 in his class.) I LOVE MY BOYS!!! I hope they have a great year!
