After waiting ages for the bus to come back and a long call to the transportation department, they sent the bus back. It was empty because it had already dropped the original busload of kids off at the school.
HERE IT COMES AGAIN!!!

Apparently there was some confusion about the bus route and the list of children needing to be picked up being in opposite orders. I don’t know. We had more issues the rest of the first week of school and then things seemed to get under control the following week.
We went over to the school to see them get off the bus. There were 5 kids on the bus so she didn’t just miss Ian and Matthew. I really suspect there were more that she missed. We watched the people down the street drive their son into school and we think there were others that did the same.
Looking out at us from the second row!
I got a kiss from Matthew before he went to school. Seeing them walk into school went far to ease MY first day nerves. Especially after the bus debacle. LOL

Matthew got off the bus and initially ran across the street without waiting for the signal to cross. We sent him back so that he understood that he had to wait for permission to cross going forward. Being sent across the street put him in a grouchy mood unfortunately.
After a month in school, things are going really well. We’ve settled into a rhythm and Matthew seems to be adjusting. We had issues for a few weeks where he’d come home from school and be miserably grouchy. I think we’re mostly past that adjustment period. 🙂
