First Day of K

Wow...the day I've been preparing for for so long....is over. Connor is now a kindergartener. The day was pretty great. We got up early...got out of the house okay. (thanks to the Grandmas for coming over to help with that.) It was a brisk morning..so Connor asked to wear a jacket (I know my son and had one ready and waiting). He also wanted pants...but that was not going to happen.

We walked down the lane together...Connor and I held back a little. I wanted to chat a bit about what he should expect. I was sooooo nervous. I truly had butterflies in my stomach! He was a-okay though.

We paused part way to the bus stop to take this pic. He was so cute! When we got to the bus stop, we were actually surprised when a different bus showed up (bus 21 pulled up instead of bus 6). The driver told us that from now on he would be picking Connor up at the end of the lane. I was a bit concerned and stopped traffic to figure it all out...but after my questions were answered...Connor took his first steps onto the big yellow.

Once he was on...he asked me, what do i do now? I told him...while sniffling back tears...to sit down and relax and soon I would be there picking him up. So he did.

Ugh.

My little boy is growing up.

I cried the whole way back home.

My mom and the boys and I went to Panera...then took a walk.

I couldn't wait to pick him up. We were the first people in the parking lot...though I let another car pull in front of me to be kind.

He spotted us right away. I couldn't wait to give him a hug and hear about his day!

He climbed right in the van...i hugged and kissed him...and started to tear up again.

His teacher stopped by the car and told us he had a great day......except.....for one minor? meltdown. He didn't want to cut out a school bus with scissors...said he hated cutting and couldn't do it....refused to do it. She kindly said that we'll have to work on fine motor skills at home. Hmmm.

Wow. My baby is a kindergartener.

Watch out world.
