so its absolutely hard to believe, but having lived through it today i know it must be true. my first born, my baby boy, my 5 year old, my kindergartener started school today! as much as i wish i could freeze time and make believe it isnt true, my guy is growing up right before my eyes!
so today was the day that we watched Tuscan board the school bus and be whisked away to start a brand new adventure! i pray that his enjoyment is as great as his anticipation. i hope he never forget his manners and that the things i have tried so hard to teach him follow with him in his heart as he spends his first (nearly) 8 hour day out of my sight, out of my care and out of my presense!
he woke up right on time this morning, all bright eyed and excited looking!! he crawled in bed with us for a few minutes before requesting pancakes for his 'first day' breakfast. frank and i ate breakfast with him and it wasnt until he headed back upstairs to get dressed that the twins decided they might join us! dressed, teeth brushed, hair done, shoes tied, lunch packed and backpack on and he was out the door!
and then we waited....and waited...and waited a bit more - his bus was supposed to be there around 8:45, so we were outside 10 minutes early, as requested by the transportation department, but by 9am i started to worry that maybe they forgot about our street! 
well, little did i know that was just Gods way of preparing me for the wave of emotion that took over when the bus rounded the corner at 9:10am!! it hit me much harder than i had expected...but i held the tears back and kissed him quickly before he ran up the steps of his bus and gave us a little wave out the window! and just like that he was gone, not to be returned to my arms until 430pm!! (the bus had a few issues being late today, he is supposed to be dropped off by 4pm!)
thankfully his smile getting off the bus was just as big as the one he had getting on! Tuscan's first day of kindergarten was a huge success. he was so proud to report that he had eaten all of his lunch, he even said he ate all the healthy foods first and his snacks last! he cant wait to go back again tomorrow...and that makes me a very happy Momma!!
even Tomlin was excited for Tuscan to get off the bus, everytime he thought he heard one he came running to the door to watch for his boy!!

not sure why i am so emotional over this...but i still cry when i see his little face (and i wasn't even there to watch him get on the bus)! :)
