Weston's First Day of School

Last week was Weston's first day of Kindergarten! Now, as I have read some blogs and talked to people, a lot of Mom's out there are very saddened by the idea of their first child going to school, I, on the other hand am so excited. It may be the fact that I have plenty more children at home to keep me busy, or just the fact that he was sooooo ready to go. I asked him if he wanted me to drive him to school the first day and he said no, he wanted to ride the bus. Tyler asked if he could come up to the bus stop with us because he is sad that Weston is big enough to go to school. Weston didn't even notice us there though, as you will see in the pictures--they sure do grow up too fast.


He wouldn't walk with us up to the bus stop because he was either too excited, or embarrassed of us already!



His cousin Brant, and our neighbor.



Brant and Weston talking things over, you can see our shadows as we just stood there and watched him, he was an instant pro at the bus stop.






The kids running to catch the bus. Because of construction next to their stop they had to run up the road to get on the bus, so this is the best shot I got of him--not even a goodbye! This kid is ready to go to school.

5 hours later...
When he got home, he looked miserable as he got off the bus. The ride was extra long because it is the first day and because we live so far out here. So, he was on the bus for over an hour and a half, he was starving and "so bored" by the time he got home. He only wanted to go to school every other day. But, the next day was better on the bus and if I have lunch ready for him immediately when he gets home he is much happier. My mother-in-law tells me Tyler was the exact same way, grouchy until he was fed, and he even ate the same thing, 2 peanut butter sandwiches every day after Kindergarten.
