My Kindergartener Goes to School!

Toby's first day of kindergarten was last Wednesday, September 1st. He was very excited! We met his teacher and saw his classroom the day before, and that night we picked out an outfit to wear, packed his lunch, and set out his nametag for the first day.
In the morning we snapped a few pictures in the yard and then went down the street to wait for the bus. We waited, and waited, took a few more pictures, and waited some more. After a half an hour (and who knows how many mosquito bites) we decided to pile into the car and drive Toby to school. I am so glad we did! We got to see a few kids from Toby's class that he met last year in preschool and over the summer. We gave him hugs and watched him line up and walk into the school with his teacher, Mrs. Young. Norah cried a lot that morning, but only partly because she missed Toby. She was also interested in playing on the kindergarteners' playground!
That afternoon we went back to the bus stop to wait for him to be dropped off. We waited for almost an hour! At 4:00 the bus pulled around the corner and dropped Toby off. We cleared up the confusion (the bus driver didn't have our stop on her route!) the next day and Toby has continued to be very excited to be in "big kid school" and is already wondering when he gets to go to first grade. (We've told him he has to wait until his next birthday to go to the next grade.)

Waiting for the bus..... When will it come take me to school?

"Check out my new shark backpack. I have the same one as a kid named Harrison and on the first day I took his backpack by mistake! Luckily my mom found mine and we wrote my name on a shark so I don't mix them up now!"
