I sent my baby off on the bus to kindergarten today. He was so excited which I was really glad about. It would have been so much harder for me if he was crying. I got a little choked up after he got on the bus and I walked away. It's a new phase of life-bus schedules, checking the backpack for papers and homework, PTO meetings, limited activities with girlfriends during the day, new friends for him to hang out with. I don't feel like the mom of a 6 yr. old. But he is definitely ready for this new stage. I'm glad we didn't send him last year, I can tell a big difference in him since last year. He has a lot more self confidence now and I think he is more excited to learn. I can't wait to pick him up from the bus stop at 3:45!
It's nice that he has afternoon kindergarten. We can relax in the morning and the boys can play together, then after I drop Hayden off, Connor and I go for a walk, then he goes down for a nap and I have lots of Mommy time! (At least until Dec.)

Hayden waving to you from the bus is just the cutest thing. I wonder if I will get a little choked up when I take Harrison to school on Thursday. Oh man! This really is opening up a new chapter of our lives! So many mixed emotions. . .
You are a stronger woman than I! I fully anticipate being a puddle on the bround after I put Georgia on the bus for the first time. I can't believe how fast they grow.
I'm glad Hayden is enjoying school so much and that you are finding plenty of mommy time before the baby gets here. That's wonderful!
