On the Big Yellow BUS!

He just looks way too excited! Shouldn't he be sad and at least a little afraid to leave his mommy?

Not the best picture of all of us but it's not always pretty this early in the morning right?!

After many months of counting down the days until school starts, the day finally came. It was a chilly morning but the girls wanted to walk out too. Grandma Syl came to watch as well. We waited awhile for the bus as we went out plenty early as to not miss the bus on the first day of school! Casey boarded the big yellow bus without so much as a backward glance and was off to kindergarten. Still seems like it is not quite possible. The day seemed kind of long for me as I kept thinking about what he might be doing. There were just so many new things for him to learn but I guess it's all a part of him learning independence. His biggest concern was that he would get on the wrong bus to come home. I drilled in him his bus number and was pretty confident that he would make it home and at about 3:30 he came bounding off the bus. His favorite part of the day as with all kids...recess. I wasn't surprised that he said he mostly just played by himself. It will take him awhile to get to know and actually play with other kids. He wasn't full of as many details as I felt like I needed but overall it seemed like he had a good day.
