It's that time of year again...time for the kids (who have been up around 6:30am all summer) to be dead tired at 7am again and suddenly wanting to be with mom all day again. Must be the first day of school!
My big, big kindergartner. I'm still in shock that this house is past the preschool years.
My tall second grader!
Alex finally got his big bus ride after waiting not-so-patiently for two years. He was thrilled.
Love that sweet face in the first seat.
I met the bus at school and walked the boys to their classrooms. The school is massive again this year because so many new families have moved in to the surrounding neighborhoods, so the traffic was terrible and the bus was very late. Ben's class had already started to I didn't embarrass him with a picture in front of everyone. He has several friends in his class this year and a wonderful young teacher. I think it's going to be a great class for him.
Alex's class was still bustling with parents and kids unpacking. I got him all settled in his seat and he started taking some deep gulping breaths. I knew the tears were next as the reality of "big" school set in, so I gave hugs and kisses and dashed out of there. My tears would not have been far behind! It's been harder than I expected to let go of my baby but I really like his teacher as well and I think she'll be great for him.
We were blessed with some much needed rain in the afternoon, but unfortunately the downpour was right as the kids got off the bus. But I got two soggy, tired, and happy boys home in the afternoon.
