The Big Day!


Well, the next generation of Cowley's has arrived at Brookwood Forest! It's hard to believe that my children will walk the same halls as I did. Of course the school is totally different and updated now, I honestly could not find my way anywhere if I had to, but it's neat that they will grow up where I did and even see or have some of the teachers I knew when I was a child.

I was so good this morning bringing him into his class, I did not cry....although I really wanted to sob! He was so grown up about going inside, showing Paul & I where his room is and walking in so calmly that I really had great peace about it. I have been so worried about him adjusting to a new environment, new friends, new schedule, etc., but he did so well and seemed so at ease, it really made me so proud of him. When he came around the corner at carpool, with a big smile on his face, it nearly melted my heart. He really likes his new teacher, Mrs. Waud (whom his aunt had in Kindergarten too!), she is great! He came home excited about his day. His favorites were library, snack & lunch (either I packed a really good snack & lunch or the boy was just hungry today!). He has a class full of fun new friends, I know he is going to have a great year. It will be so much fun to watch him grow and learn so much this year....but it's still so hard to believe that it's time for him to be in "big school"! Enjoy the pictures from our day....


The walk in...


Peering inside the door, telling us, "dad, mom, this is my new room!"
