Today was Cache's first day of pre-school, but that is only part of what this post is about. First of all I will say what all parents say, but I understand it so much better now, they really do grow up too fast.
I was kind of sad this morning not being able to take pictures and make Cache a special first day of school breakfast but Steve took good care of that. Though, he did say Cache was too excited to eat, but he did get a picture up on facebook :). Steve, by the way, is amazing. In every aspect of his life.
As I was teaching this morning I kept glancing up at the clock, when it hit 10:00 I knew Cache would be there. Just around the corner, and down the hall from my classroom. Then it hit 10:10 and I thought to myself, I guess Steve isn't going to stop by to give me a report of the morning, I was anxious.
Shortly after that I saw Steve wave to me from the little window on my door. I told him to hang on one second as I got my 29 students set to go on their next objective. Steve started to tell me about how Cache had done this morning...then I noticed something that made my heart just swell, he was teary eyed. I looked up at him while he getting a little bit choked up and said, "Babe are you crying?" of course he said, "no" and smiled. I will never forget that moment because I knew for a fact that I gave my children one of the best gifts I could ever give them, an amazing father. He loves us so much and he is so cute with Cache, they have a strong relationship. It was so cute to see my 6' 4" husband tearing up because his little boy was growing up so fast. The only complaint I had was that I had to walk back into a room of 29 sixth graders when my eyes were tearing up.
As I was getting ready to leave guess who returned to school, Steve. He didn't want to miss picking up Cache from school and seeing how his day went. When I was talking to him he said, "I think I was way more nervous than Cache was this morning."
Just look at these two. I am so grateful to Steve. He is a truly amazing father and I know our children will know they can go to him for anything.
