Today is the First Day of School!
Sebastian started Kindergarten :o)
I was very nervous at the thought of him all on his own for such a looooooooong time (7.5 hours) but he WAS ready!!! He woke up early, ate ALL his breakfast quickly (which he rarely does), got dressed and was anxious to get on the bus!!!
Today he got to use his new shirt, shoes, and backpack!! The funny thing is that his backpack look more like a parachute on his back than a bag because it was sooooo HUGE on him!!!
When we were already we all walked to the bus stop. The bus stop was 2 houses down from our house - which is VERY, VERY nice!!! :o) Believe it or not, almost everybody here takes the school bus. What's even more surprising is that the school is only 3 miles away AND he still rides the bus . . . . how GREAT is that!?!?!?!?!?! So from now on, Sebastian will be picked up at 8:19 every morning and will be drop-off around 3:45 ish.
The bus was a little late today (first day and all) but it finally came! Sebastian totally surprised us because he was SOOOO excited when the bus came. He quickly said goodbye to me and wanted to get on the bus RIGHT THEN AND THERE!! I had to yell at him to say bye to Alerina and Bac. And before we knew it, he was getting on and in the bus and was gone :o(
Sadness came over me but I was Good . . . I didn't cry . . . teary-eyed but not crying! That counts right for not crying, right??????
The day was quiet without Sebastian. It was just the 3 of us. Today, we did our usual thing around the house and before we knew it was time to pick him up at the bus stop. It was almost 8 hours since I've seen him and surprisingly enough, it flew by!!!
When, Sebastian got off the bus, he was Happy :o). He seemed to enjoy his first day of Kindergarten (Thank goodness!!!) and he was actually looking forward to going back!!! Phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :o)
As sad as I am knowing that this IS the very first day of the start of my little boy growing up and being out there in the real world, out of my protective 24/7 bubble . . . . . . . I am happy because I know Sebastian will do just fine :o)
