First Day of SchoolAugust 24, 2009
Ryan started all day Kindergarten and Jacob goes into the 3rd grade. Boy were they excited to start school. They were ready for school 15 minutes early. I'm sure that won't last very long! Ryan was so excited to ride on the bus. When it came he made a bee line right to the steps and almost forgot to give us hugs and kisses. Jacob is an old pro and gets to sit in the middle of the bus this year. One of Ryan's friends from preschool is in his class, but he makes friends fast! Ryan gets lunch for free for the first week so they can get used to buying lunch at the cafeteria. He is excited for taco day. We will let Jacob buy his lunch for the first week too and then they have to pick one day a week to buy lunch and then they have to take their lunch the other 4 days. I asked Ryan when he got off the bus how it was and he said it was great. He really loves school. They were pretty tired and cranky about 1 1/2 hours after they got home but that will go on for about a month until they get used to going to school. I asked Ryan if he was ready to do this for the next 188 days and he just laughed. I guess we'll see. I can't beleive my babies are growing up so fast. I cried on and off all day because I missed them. I've had to take care of someone for the past 8 years and it is weird not to have to do that. But I'm sure I'll get used to that pretty quick.
