I Love You, Forest...

Well, tomorrow is the start of a very busy week. We have an open house at David's school tomorrow and will meet his teacher and take his supplies. Then he catches the bus at 7:45 tuesday morning and has school until 3:00. That is such a long day for a 5 year old!! I really wish it wasn't so long! That is gonna be hard on him I think. He really wants to ride the bus but I am just so nervous for him. I really am. I can't help it. He is my baby and my first one to go to school. I know I have to just let him go. You always read about moms who have a hard time sending their little ones off to school and I never thought I would be like that, but I already am! I am gonna bawl my eyes out! I know Honey was very sad to be missing it. I am sure David will be great but it will take some time for him to get used to it. I just am so proud of my friendly and smart big dude. I feel like I have so much still to teach him. So many important things he needs to know. He is so trusting. I just want him to be safe and make lots of friends. I feel like Forrest Gump at the end of the movie..."I'll be right here when you get back..." and then sit there all day waiting for him. sniff.
Sigh...
Better get the camera ready.

I drove Bug her first day. Day 2 I let her ride the bus and I took loads of pictures. Plus was waiting for the bus to get home forever. All those other kindergarten mom's getting their pictures, lol. So be prepared for day 1 to take longer than day 2. And day 3....

It'll be okay. It will get easier. And then you will be amazed at the extra quiet. It's a great time for the younger ones to bond better.

(((Hugs)))

I was in the hospital only about 12 hours after giving birth to Ashton on Lexie's first day of school. I didn't get to be there for any of it which probably saved me the tears but I missed getting to be a part of it. Good thing for my mom who did take lots of pictures and Jake got to be there when he normally would have been at work.
