A great day was had by all.
Slightly emotional for me, but great overall. We were so proud of him and he was so brave. He had no problems getting on the bus, or at any point during the day. Even when we left. He was fine. I could tell he was a little nervous, because right before we left, he knew we were going to leave and he came and gave me the biggest hug, a real genuine hug.
What I can tell you is that we were waiting and waiting and waiting for the bus and it was ~15 minutes late. But, once it got there – it only seemed like 5 seconds and they were off. I got a few photos, but it went really fast. We drove to the school and got there before the bus got there (they had more stops to do) and met him there. We walked him to his “line up spot” and then walked him to class with his teacher. And before you know it – we were leaving. Again, fast. Waiting and waiting and waiting – and then really really really fast.
At pick up tonight he was building Lincoln Logs houses and having a great time. He told us all about his day and he’s excited to go back tomorrow. We are so proud of him.
Sara had a great day too. She has the same teachers, who are wonderful, so things were very familiar for her (thank goodness!). She kept asking about “where brother?”, at kindergarten. “where kindergarten?”, at Alex’s school. “where brother’s kindergarten?”, at his school. repeat, repeat, repeat. She had a little bit of a hard time when I was leaving her at preschool and needed some extra hugs, totally normal for a week off. Although, I think she knew that something was different. There was no brother at her school anymore. And she knew it. I think she really loved having him close by and seeing him on the playground.
And now – on to pictures…
And last, but not least – a picture of me holding him and him wrapping his legs and arms around me. It was wonderful to see him this evening.
