K is for Kindergarten!

I know I already did a blog for the letter K, but I thought this letter deserved another one!!



Ladies and Gentlemen we have a KINDERGARTNER in the house!!! And yes, I did tear up when he got on the bus this morning and I'm tearing up again now! I didn't actually see him get on the bus this morning because he wanted Eric to walk him... when I saw the pictures Eric took and the HUGE smile on Tyler's face, that's when it hit me, and Eric too, that our son's really growing up....
Last night Tyler was so excited to get to bed so he could go to "big boy school" in the morning. He helped me make his lunch- turkey sandwich with lettuce (or "salad" as Tyler would say), carrots, grapes and some goldfish- all packed inside his Incredible Hulk lunch box, got out his outfit and had his book bag ready by the door (thanks Mimi and Papa for the Batman Book bag!)


The morning was really stress free. I got up at my regular time (4:57 AM- yes, those 3 minutes make a difference.. just ask Eric!) and Eric got Tyler up around 5:40 with no problem. He got dressed right away and went and sat in the living room to eat his bowl of cheese grits I made him. Every time I make them he asks me if they are "yummy grits" so I'm assuming he means the ones with cheese, or I hope anyway!

Tyler rushed me to take the picture and as soon as I finished he said "now let's go!"

After he was done and brushed his teeth and let me spike his hair, it was about time to head to the bus stop (just at the end of the street which is nice!) It was raining, and had been ALL night, so Eric walked him down with an umbrella (we offered Tyler to ride and sit in the truck and wait, but he really wanted to walk. I waited anxiously in the house trying to look down the street to see if I could see anything, but the trees where in my way. Eric took the camera so I could see Tyler get on the bus.

After Tyler left, Eric, Caiden and I headed to his school to meet him there to make sure he knew where to go, etc. We were originally going to take him, but he insisted that he rode the bus! When he saw us at the school already he comes up and says "Why did you guys come here?" I kinda brushed that comment aside and gave him a big hug and kiss and wished him a great day. We said our goodbyes and headed back to work.

Our Tyler is such a big boy and it becoming more independent everyday. We are so proud of you Tyler!!!!! Mommy and Daddy love you very very much!!!
