First Day

Walking to the bus stop. (That isn't his bus in the background...but doesn't it add a nice touch. =)


Wyatt's first day of Kindergarten was today. He was so excited, so I tried not to show how nervous I was. It's is a long time to be without my boy. I have so many worries, and I know he will be fine, but it is a sad time for me. He is growing up so quickly. Too quickly.

He left the house in the happiest mood, and yelled back to Lincoln, "I will come home and tell you all about it."

I took this picture, and then the bus drove away. We waved and waved back to him. We started walking home, and I was fighting back tears. I started looking at the images on the back of my camera, and zoomed in on the photo above. He is signing "I love you," which is something he has done his whole life. As a baby he would hold up his pointy finger, as a two year old his thumb joined in, as a three year old he would hold the two folded fingers down with the opposite hand, and as a four year old he finally got it. His current thing is "Double I love yous", the two handed version. Well, after I saw this I started to bawl. Talia asked me if I was okay, and if my tummy hurt. =) We hopped in the car and followed the bus to the school, and they had a little hoorah for the kids as they marched into the school. The boy in front of Wyatt had Transformer shoes on, and I saw the beginnings of a friendship!


After he got off the bus, I got the eyes closed-squish you-hold for a long time-hug. I almost thought something was wrong, and expected tears. There were no tears he just missed me that much. I think he looks a little tired in this picture. He told us all about his day when he walked in the door. I think it was a very good first day at Kindergarten.
