While we waited for the bus to come, you chatted and seemed like you were just a tiny bit nervous. And then the "big yellow cheese wagon" (as you like to call it) came around the corner and you got on like you had done it 100 times before.
You got to sit in the very front seat, and there weren't too many kids on the bus yet so it was perfect. You met Ms. Deborah, the bus driver, and off you went. I waved frantically with tears in my eyes but I held it together for you baby. I did.
As we watched the bus drive away, a part of my heart went with it but I know you were on your way to big, new things. All I wanted to do at that moment was to see you one last time, for one last kiss and good luck wish. But you were gone. I knew it would be one of the longest days of my life, waiting for you to get home.
You are such a confident, friendly boy and I know you will flourish in Mrs. Sayres class. You have such a bright future ahead of you and it's going to be so much fun seeing you grow and learn this year. The hardest part is letting you go. You are now in someone else's control for most of your days - and that's so hard. Although I know you are in good hands, trusting others to watch over my most precious boys is not easy. You're smart though - and you'll watch out for yourself. And you'll make good decisions, and learn from your mistakes. You're just, like that.
You have paved the way for your brother for tomorrow. He watched you be so brave. And you did it. It was hard on the two of you not to go together today - but it's showing you both that you can stand on your own and make your way by believing in yourself. You can do anything.
Here are a few pictures from your first day of Kindergarten. I don't know that I have ever been more proud of you my love. You are truly my sunshine.
