Well today, September 3, 2008 Brendan and Thomas are about to begin their first day of school...The morning started with a 7:40 wake up call.
Slowly but surely they made there way downstairs to find their breakfast of choice...French Toast Sticks and Cantaloupe.

After breakfast they washed up and put on their uniforms. Finally the moment all moms have waited for the walk to the bus stop! Gram came to take pictures and watch the boys get on the bus. At about 9:05 the bus pulled around the corner. At that moment Brendan's little hand wrapped so tightly around the stroller and tears began to run down his face as he cried "Mommy, I don't want to go." Holding back the tears myself, I peeled his fingers off the stroller and practically carried him to the bus. Thomas had no problems getting on the bus. He was so anxious and excited. To my surprise and luck, we have the same bus driver as last year and she was nice enough to let Thomas and Brendan sit together. Kindergartners have to sit in the front. With tears in his eyes and a sad wave from Brendan and a Smile from Thomas the bus drove away. The school day went well except for a phone call from the school nurse to tell me that Thomas, while bending over at lunch to pick up a wrapper, slammed his head on the lunch table. He was fine, just a little bump. Only Thomas! Well it was finally 3:30 and we all headed down to the bus stop to find ourselves waiting until 4:20!! But low and behold they finally made it home with big smiles and lots of stories. So all in all it was a great 1st day...
