Kindergarten Begins

I can't believe it has happened. My baby is officially grown up. Greyson has started kindergarten!

How did this happen?

Wasn't he just a teeny tiny, too early baby in my arms yesterday?!

How was he ever that small?  He's so big now, so smart, so...amazingly Greyson. 

Well, on Wednesday my baby boy began kindergarten. We both took it in stride. I wasn't really sad about it -- he's been going to preschool/daycare for years now. It isn't really too different.  Just a bus drops him off instead of me, and he'll be there 5 days instead of 3.  A small but significant change I think we were both ready for.

Greyson loves school he's been talking about going to kindergarten for months now. When the day arrived it just felt right. We were all ready. But still, I wonder where the time has gone. 5 years flew by in a blink. 

What a difference 5 years makes!

Greyson handled the first day in complete Greyson fashion.  He was so cool. So easy going about it. He was trilled about getting to ride the bus. 

I went up to the school on my own to attend a PTA meeting. I stopped by his classroom to find him sitting at his desk, looking at a book. He totally didn't care that I was there. In fact, I think he was a little embarrassed to see me there - even though the room was filled with parents giving last hugs before Kindergarten truly began. I can't believe that it is happening already. I was hoping for many more years before I became a public embarrassment to my son. Oh well. Really I'd rather have him like this than having him scared and sad on his first day of school. 

It's hard to be sad when he's so wonderful and so happy. Even if he decided to cover his sisters face!

Amelia was a little sad she didn't get to ride the bus to school too.  When I picked her up from PDO she kept looking around for her brother.  I'm so glad they are so close right now.  I love them both so dearly.
