He’s all grown up!  Or at least it seemed that way when my 5year old put on his uniform this morning for his 1st day of Kindergarten. 

His options are white polo or navy polo and today he chose…..white!!

This morning, Daddy Buck and I brought him to his old, if you will, daycare where he’ll have breakfast (before care)everyday with his brother before getting on the schoolbus to head to school. 

 

He climbed on the bus and took a seat and I, well…..

I kinda, mighta, maybe sorta lost it!

I had to quickly pull myself together because his fabulous bus driver insisted that each Kindergartener turn back around to their mothers for one last picture and wave.

He obliged…..

Nevermind that my camera lens was completely fogged over since the humidity was a mere 87% this morning!

    

I then hopped in my car and blazed a path to school ahead of the bus so I could intercept him getting off the bus and take him to his classroom. 

He was a bit more nervous exiting the bus with the swarms of over-enthusiastic, loud, rambunctious middle schoolers; but his contentment returned upon arriving to his homeroom. 

 

This where he found his hook for his packpack, identified his cubby for his school supplies, and took his seat and promptly began coloring his schoolwork that the teacher had laid out.

This Mom has been on the verge of tears all day, waiting on pins and needles for 3:00pm, and super proud of her eldest son today!
