Kindergarten Kid

Here it is! The big event. Carson started school.

On Tuesday, September 4th Carson has Kindergarten Orientation. He got to meet his teacher and check out his room. The next day class would begin.

Wednesday, September 5th. We started outside about 10:40am to take some pictures and work our way down to the bus stop for the 11:12 pick up. We got to the stop about 11, just to be ready. At 11:25 the bus hadn't arrived and with school to start at 11:30 we made the decision for mommy to drive Carson to school (found out bus was over a half hour late!). He was bummed. He had really overcome his fear of riding the bus and was brave and ready to go! He did get to ride the bus home at the end of the day and loved it.

Thursday, September 6th. The bus came today! Yeah and he rode it to school and home again. School is great.

Oh, and I know you are all wondering if I cried. You betcha! The whole drive home. It was a combo cry...frustrated at the late bus and the realization that my baby is old enough for all this!

I've been Carson's own paparazzi for 3 days now. Also with a camera in hand and around my neck...not to mention the camcorder on the tripod! I know! I know...I'm one of THOSE moms! But when I'm old and senile I want to remember this time.
