Lance's first day

I had been dreading yesterday for the last year; Lance's first day of school! 

How did my baby get so big!!?! It seriously seems like I linked and he grew up. 

I made sure to put Lance to bed early so he would be easy to wake up. Daddy was gone Tuesday night working in Chicken. Before Andrew leaves he always tells Lance, "take care of mommy and Lexie". Well, apparently part of taking care of mommy is to sleep with her so she has someone to cuddle with. 

I set the alarm for 7:45 am and by 8 am I had finally convinced Lance to wake up. He kept saying, "I just wanna take a nap!". 

I put his clothes in the dryer so they would be nice & warm. He didn't like the shirt that I had picked out so we switched shirts then Finally got fully dressed.

Mornings have been a touch cool so we made sure to put on a jacket. 

I stood with Lance on the bridge joking about different things then we heard the bus!! 

He was super excited to get on the bus. It was so cute seeing the faces of the little boys that would probably be his friends peeking out the window at him. 

I did so good till his back turned and walked up those stairs. It was then that I started to cry a little.

How did this happen?! Where has the time gone?! We now have a kindergartener in the house! 

When Lexie woke up she was upset that she couldn't go to school too, but I told her she could help mommy today and Lance would be home later. Our day went by fast. We had a few errands to do. One of the things we had to do was pick up some packages from the post office. The post office is located past Lance's school. Both times going by we slowed way down to see if we could see any kids (Lance) playing at recess. No kids were out though. 

Daddy got home by 3:30 so we were all out on the bridge waiting for Lance to get off the bus. 

When the bus stopped we could see Lance sitting next to the window. He was talking to another little boy and just kept waving and smiling at us. He didn't quite understand that it was his turn to get off the bus. The bus driver opened the window and asked what our kids name was she yelled "Lance it's your turn". Lance hopped up and quickly got off the bus. He was greeted by Lexie with a huge hug saying"Lance, Lance, I missed you!!!" Alaska even jumped up and kissed him.

When we asked Lance if he had a good day he quickly said, "guess what! We had two times of recess!!" Then Lance excitedly told me that the little boy in blue had invited him over but he forgot his name. Sounds like Lance had a great first day!!! 

Lance won't stay at school every day till 3:30. Kindergarteners can leave at 1:30 if they want, but I will have to pick him up. We decided the first few days Lance should ride the bus because that's when they have extra help for the little ones to learn which bus is theirs and how everything works. Also, the bus drivers are learning the stops too and we want to make sure she knows our stop. We are the ones with the golden retrievers and the crazy waving momma lol.
