Josiah's Big Day




I just dropped Josiah off for his first day of afternoon kindergarten. Did I cry on the way home? My crying came about on Sunday night, when I realized I didn't fill out his transportation form. I got to thinking how do they know if he rides the bus or I take bring him and pick him up. So I looked in his folder and sure enough there was the form to be filled out. We had decided to let him (and me) get used to going everyday to kidergarten first, then we would work on the bus riding. So, I panicked at the thought of him being put on the bus for the ride home with the big kids, when he wasn't expecting that. So today when I brought him I turned in the form to the office and sure enough they had him as riding the bus. So the secretary had to go find the teacher and let her know. We will find out when I go to pick him up if she got the message. This year there is less parent/teacher chat time, and you drop him off at the playground and he is suppose to line up when the bell rings. So no chance for me to let her know. An older kid brings the kids out to the bus before the parent pick up kids so....Dan tried to calm me down by telling me to go sit in the parking lot way early and wait for him. If they put him on the bus go get him off. We will see what happens.

When I dropped him off he did really good. He is supposed to go play on the playground, but wanted to stand by Isaac and I. Then the teacher came out to have them line up, they had to wait for the bus riders. So as they were waiting the worry came across his face. He stood there and then followed the teacher inside. I thought he was going to cry but he didn't. Hopefully, he will have a great day and tomorrow will be easier.
