Well, the first day of school went off with out a hitch… so far. Connie had to get up so early, and as I predicted she couldn’t sleep. She was up really early, so she got dress and went back to sleep. When I woke her up at 6, she was dressed and ready. She was styling! Take a look:
I just can’t believe how grown up and beautiful she is looking. She was both nervous and excited, but I suspect she’ll take a nap when she gets home!
We woke up Kyler shortly before her bus came and had a family prayer and then took her to the bus. She’s so big!
Kyler was up more than an hour early for family prayers, so he was ready in a heartbeat. I explained that he could rest more, play or go get ready now. He’s such a little stalwart boy so he chose get ready now and play later. As he’s heading to get ready Connie is yelling “brush your teeth and DON’T FORGET DEODERANT. Really Kyler, don’t forget deoderant.” Then she kneels there for a second and then says “oh my goodness, I forgot deoderant” and runs to her room. Needless to say, Jason and I got a little laugh this morning. She’s so funny.
Kyler was ready for school an hour before go time, so he played a lot this morning. It was nice for him as Ethan was still asleep and Connie was gone, so he got alone time. Here’s his styling self this morning. He’s required to wear his blue “Hoosier Road Elementary” shirt on the first day as they sort all the grades out for their classes.
Believe it or not, that is Kyler smiling in the first picture. Not a true smile of course, but what he does for a picture! LOL
We didn’t get a good picture of him boarding his bus, but he had a good time talking to a neighbor friend while he waited.
I can’t believe how fast they grow up. Next year I will be putting both kids on the Middle School bus early and Ethan on the bus for Kindergarten. Wow, cherish every moment. It flies by!
