Waiting for the bus:

Matthew has been so excited about the first day of school.  When he saw Ian standing outside with a lunchbox, he insisted on having a “wunch” too.  Mike packed him some muffins in a Ziploc bag and put it inside a lunchbox. LOL

He wasn’t too amused when we told him he wasn’t going to Kindergarten:

image

Just in case there was any confusion about what day it was….

image

Here comes the bus!

image

Everyone is so excited!!!

image

It’s finally time to go to Kindergarten!!!

image

Bus Driver Tom was very friendly!

image

Off he goes!

Ian was the second child on the bus and the first girl was someone he went to school with last year.  I was glad he had a friend to sit with.

On his way to Kindergarten:

A little confused about what just happened:

image

We drove over to Ian’s school because I really wanted pictures of Ian getting off the bus. 

image

Here comes Ian’s bus!

image

The bus driver parked the bus in the lot, off to the side, for several minutes.  He got out of his seat and walked up and down the aisle to talk to the kids. 

image

Here they come!

image

Despite my attempt to hide, Ian saw us as the bus passed.

Getting in place to unload:

Ian was the first one off:

(That’s his principal with the white shirt and black pants pulled up to his hairline. LOL )

Here he comes!

image

Going right in to school:

After Ian went in, Mike and I headed off to work until it was time to get Ian off the bus.

Here comes the bus to bring Ian home!

image

image

I guess this first step gives him some trouble. LOL

image

Last one off the bus:

image

So excited to see us, he had to run!

I got a huge hug after that picture was taken. 🙂

See you tomorrow, bus!

Telling us about his day:

They read “The Kissing Hand”:

Love this boy:

You may have noticed (or heard, if you watched the video) that Ian didn’t get off the bus with his lunchbox.  Apparently the teacher told the kids to leave their lunchboxes in their cubbies and Ian thought he wasn’t allowed to bring it home.  LOL  Thankfully, it came home today.  🙂

TODAY, Ian fell asleep on the bus ride home.  He was sharing a seat with Megan, a little girl in his class that lives down the street.  When the bus got to her house, it sat there for a while and no one got off.  The Megan’s mom got on the bus and found Ian and her daughter sleeping in their seat.  She woke them up, took her daughter home and then the bus drove down the street to drop Ian off at our house.  🙂

    I’m actually crying. I cannot believe he’s in kindergarten. AND, I’m LOLing about falling asleep on the bus and missing his stop, lol.
