500 Back-to-School Animations

Whether my emotions weighed on him, or if it was just the reluctance that comes with heading into the unfamiliar, he too didn't seem exactly eager to leave the house. Unlike his sister, an independent soul, who had the year prior headed out the door and onto the playground full of chatter and animation. No, my boy was quiet that morning, his expression mildly wary, his steps slower.
Then, as we approached the door where other kindergarten students were waiting, he saw his friends and dropped my hand. A smile lit his face and he charged ahead with all of the chatter and animation that had been missing.
I, on the other hand, knew I was going to miss what had been. Feeling my eyes well, I gamely forced a smile and turned away to head back home. Not before grabbing a hug, however. He might have been growing up, but he was never going to be too big for that as far as I was concerned.
From that day forward, of course, those hugs came before he walked, or should I say ran, out the door. Any trepidation had dissipated from the moment he entered that playground full of excited happy children and saw his friends among them. These terrific back-to-school animations reflect that spirited environment.
