On the first day of school, I used the car lane to pick Luke up. I wanted him to get used to this because I will have Emma in the car and some days I will have Madison as well, so it was going to be much more convenient. Having to get out of the car with both girls to walk in and get him would be less convenient. So the first day we did it, but he didn't like it. As I was walking him in on day 2, he asked me if I would come in and get him instead of the car lane. I reluctantly said I would.
So yesterday afternoon, I got to school, parked, walked into the gym and waited for the kids to be dismissed. Then Luke came into the gym looking all around for me. When his eyes caught mine he got the biggest smile. He was so happy I'd come in to get him. He walked over to me, grabbed my hand and we left.
As we walked out of school, holding hands, I treasured that little moment, knowing there will come a day (very soon) when he won't want me to walk in and get him and he certainly won't want to hold my hand. So, as inconvenient as it may be, I will continue to walk in and get him each day because it means so much to him and really it does to me as well. I love that sweet, sweet boy. :)
