Do you remember your first day of school? I do. I was so excited to finally be going to school but I was a bit nervous too. Today I had the same feelings but with other mixed Father emotions. Today was Diego’s first day of school.  Diego pretends to have homework everyday. He writes his name, knows his colors, counts to 80, plays with his books… He’s been ready for school for quite sometime. We were just waiting for an opening. The day finally came! And yes, like every parent I really believe Diego is a genious.

I am so excited and proud for him but sad too…in a good way. When you start seeing your kids grow up so fast it screws with your emotions. I want them to grow up and be great men, but I also wish they’d stay little   I did good though. I kept strong. No tears… I think I just had some dust in my eye. I love that he is going to make new friends. We taught him how to be respectful, how to be generous, how to treat girls, how to treat bullies,  how to listen, and tons of other things that we hope he actually paid attention to. I wanted to tell the teachers that Diego loves making people laugh and he loves music and art…But I think they’ll figure that one out pretty quick. I guess I shouldn’t worry… Or maybe I should. Before we left home this morning he asked us,

“What kind of girls are going to be there?”
