Today was the day. My little man, Ian, had his first day of Kindergarten. He was so excited when he got up this morning. He got his shower and had his breakfast and could hardly wait to get to the bus stop.
His bus driver is very nice. (Although sadly, I didn't catch her name in the emotions of putting him on the bus.) He got right on and sat in the seat directly behind the bus driver. As she started to pull away, I had to turn away because I was starting to cry. The driver noticed and stopped the bus, opened the door and hollered to me "Don't cry Mom. He'll be fine!" It was nice of her to notice my emotions and acknowledge them.
Ian looked so big this morning and at the same time so small. It was surreal to be putting my little man on the bus for school. (Something that I am sure will become mundane before too long! LOL)
I cried as I turned my back and walked back to the house with Shan, Ian off to start school without us. Shan was very excited for Ian and so was I, but a part of me was sad that my baby was so grown up now. That step to Kindergarten seems like the first big step away from babyhood and into childhood. Even as I type this, it makes me tear up.
The good news is that he had a blast at school. He came home with as big of a smile as when he left and told me that he had a lot of fun at school. (Whew...at least he liked it! LOL)
Anyway, here are some pictures for you.
Thanks to all of you who said prayers for me and him today. I am sure they helped greatly!
