yesterday we officially sent our five year old talen off to kindergarten...
he was so ready, so confident, such a grown up lil boy...
was so excited to see all that kindergarten had to offer...
this mom mentally knew he was ready, emotionally not so much. there was no holding back tears the day prior or the morning of. tears of excitment for him as i listened to him tell his big brother all about his orientation day the day before...
tears of a new beginning that he will now always be a "school-aged" boy, tears as i packed his very first school lunch with a note just like i remember doing for ryley in kindergarten...
but as he let us know, he was a ready to walk on that bus and tackle kindergarten...
he was so excited to walk up those steps and off he went...
off to look for that big yellow apple his teacher would be holding as he walked off the bus...
so now it was back to the house for project time, for one to keep myself busy, for two, the first day of kindergarten only happens once so why not celebrate it?!
it seemed like an eternity waiting for it to finally be time to walk up to the bus stop!
blakie & i counted down the hours and the minutes...
i was so very excited to see that face as he got off that bus & listen to all he had to say about his day!
such a long waiting game that blake couldn't even keep his eyes open any longer at the bus stop...
and there came the bus...
and then came the boy...
a lil swagger in his step the whole walk home as i asked him approximately 122 questions...
so proud of you talen, you did a great job, you did it!
love you t-dawg!
we put together some buckets full of treats to "boo" a few of his friends...
once we had put together all of the buckets we packed up the car and we were off...
talen bent himself over and tip toed to each door with bucket in hand...
slowly and oh so quietly placed the bucket at the door...
rang the doorbell...
ran back to the car as fast as a ghost...
hopped back into the car laughing in hysterics...
yelling...go mom...go!!!
so much fun!
and these are a few halloween treats talen & i brought to his school halloween party the night before...
owl cupcakes...
rice crispie ghost pops...
monster cupcakes!
