Alex's First Day of School

Tuesday was Alex's first day of kindergarten. He was SO psyched to go! I was woken up at 6:50 AM by this little boy singing "It's my first day of scho-ol! It's my first day of scho-ol!" How cute was that?!?

My original plan was to drive him to school every day, but he informed me that he wanted to ride the school bus in the mornings, and be picked up after school. So, with tears streaming down my face, I walked my firstborn down to the bus stop at the corner and put him onto the bus.

There's the big yellow bus, just like I remembered it. Only now it seemed a lot bigger, and scarier too. I was worried about Alex, but he obviously could handle it.

He was so excited that all I got was a quick wave, and then he waded into the throng of kids to find a seat. I lost sight of him then. It all happened so quickly!



There he goes. Off to school. Now excuse me so I can go cry some more. (sniff)
