Today was Billy’s first day of school.  This is the real deal. He is in kindergarten! He woke up right at 7:00 am and was ready to start the day.  Bebe made Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes for breakfast.  Then we got ready for the day.  He was a little apprehensive about riding the bus and told me he didn’t want too, but then a few minutes later he told me we have to go or we will miss the bus. The bus came and he jumped out of the car onto the bus.  I didn’t even get a hug.  Then he was off.  I have to admit as I was driving back down to our house from the bus stop the tears started flowing.  Baden was compassionate and gave me his Buzz Lightyear to comfort me.  All day all I could think about was Billy. I wondered what he was doing and how he was.  Then at 3:55, he jumped off the bus and gave me a huge hug.  He was so excited and had a great day. He liked eating school lunch. He got to play on the playground. He played in the house that is in his classroom.  He traced his hand and made a picture.  He made two new friends, but isn’t quite sure of their names. 🙂  He was excited to show me the folders in his back pack and the worksheets he had done.  I was so nervous for him. I had butterflies in my stomach all day.  He told me I have school tomorrow and I am going to ride the bus!  I hope this day is one of many more to come.
