To my sweet Jack,
Today is your first day of school, and I can't explain how much I love you and am proud of you. You were so brave (too brave)... you let me hold your little boy hand while we walked to the door and as soon as it opened, you slipped away from me and ran to play with your new friends, "kiz" (kids) as you call them, and the mountains of unexplored toys. And as I left you with your new environment (abruptly as we parents were instructed to do), I caught a glimpse of you through the window and watched for just a moment, mesmerized at how quickly you became a little boy, and how there's very little baby, if any at all, left in my sweet Jack. And now I sit here writing you this note to express how very much I've enjoyed watching you grow into the little boy you are today, and how I will cherish watching you grow into the man you will become. But in my heart you will always be my sweet, sweet baby Jack.
You only go to school on Wednesdays, and it's only a half mile away from home, but I know it's going to be a whole new world for you. This, Jack, is the beginning of your childhood, but please take your time for Dad and I, because there's so much more to come.
I love you,
Mommy

Well Jack, you are growing so fast it makes my head spin. Wasn't it just yesterday when you were all red and screaming in the hospital? I wish I could see you more often, but your Mommy does a raelly good job of keeping us all updated with each new thing you do and say. (Thank you Mommy).
And your Mommy will always be my sweet, sweet, baby Kate....
Love and miss you,

Oh big boy Jack:
It looks like you had a ball on your first day of school. Your friends look awesome. I know it was a very sad day for mommy and daddy to let you go. But just think how excited they must of been knowing that you could meet new friends and to play with really cool toys. I bet your teacher was nice too. Thanks for sharing you picture with me. I miss you very much. And of course I love you very very much. See you in NC in about 4 weeks. I can't wait to pick you up in my arms and give you a big big squeeze and a kiss.
Love,

Jack, I am sure your mommy "almost" cried on her ride home from dropping you at school. You are sooooo big!
Love and miss you,
Great Auntie Mary xoxoxoxo
Jack,
It's wonderful to see what a confident, curious little boy you've become.
I "almost" cried just reading about your new adventure!
Love you,
Jeanie
Hi, I'm work with MB and she shared your blog with me. I so remember the first day of my school for my kids. It was such a bittersweet day. Wonderful in the way of watching them grow and sad in the way of watching begin to leave their very early years behind.
Jack will love to read this as he grows older. :)
Well Jack, what a beautiful entry your Mommy made in sharing your very first day of school. You are getting so big and you are a joy to watch. Mommy is so good about keeping us informed about all your exciting adventures. I didn't "almost" cry. I really cried. Your Mommy will always be our little "pertinkle". Hope to see you soon.
Love,
YFGG xoxoxo
There's no "almost" to my cry. I really did. But who's surprised? Jack, I am glad that you had such fun at school and Mommy, it will get easier!
