And He's Off to the Big K!

Yesterday we met Simon's teacher and delivered his school supplies. Since he is a "busser", we took his picture by the school sign. He is walking into the school with Daddy.

Simon is sitting on the front porch the morning of Kindergarten. He had a busy morning: wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, get back-pack, take pictures, and get on the busy. He responded to that list "whew, that's alot!"

A picture waving on the sidewalk, just like Mommy's first day of Kindergarten!

Simon and Norah waiting for the bus on the corner of our house!

Norah decided on her own to wear her Elmo backpack for the occasion. With a naked baby and blanket in tow!

An eager and excited Simon getting on the bus, with Norah trying to tag along and join him.

And there he goes . . . . . .

The only moment of unsuredness is from Norah, because she could not ride the bus. All morning she said "I go too!"

Still unhappy and refusing to walk back home. Oh, the sadness of a denied bus ride.

But Daddy taking her for a donut will sure turn that frown upside down. Our smiley girl returned!

And we are soon off to go see Grandpa's Garden. Norah declares that Simon goes to Kindergarten and she goes to Grandpa's Garden. It only seem fitting that we visit the pumpkins.

So the big question, "Did Mommy get teary?" No, I did not. With my history of working in early childhood special education I have seen so many children go to kindergarten not as expected by any mother. Kindergarten is what is next. Simon is a smart boy and is very ready for kindergarten. I cannot wait to see him grow in his letter knowledge and begin reading, develop knew friendships, and create a small world that is all his own.
