So Ethan had his first day of school on Monday... I was worried that he wouldn't want to stay because in the past he usually is very shy at first, and has a hard time letting go of mom... anyway so we took him to his school, he gave us all (myself, Mia & Kenya) a hug and a kiss, and he went off to get in line with his classmates, then they took him into the classroom and he was happy the whole time!!! I got teary eyed, but Ethan was fine!!! oh, my big boy!!! I was so proud of him!!!!!!!
A funny thing happened when I picked him up... the letter that I had gotten from the school said that he was in Mrs. Lemmon's afternoon class, but then when I went to pick him up, his teacher told me that she had him on her morning class! this was great news, as we originally wanted to do morning!! so that was a great surprise! When we got home on Monday Ethan said to me: "Mama, I went to school and I didn't cry!!!"
So on Tuesday he got to experience the bus... I took him to the bus stop, and then I followed the bus to make sure that he knew where to go... he did pretty good, but so much for my sneaking, I suddenly see him waving at me!!!!!!! Oh well, but he got to ride the bus home, and he was really happy when he got off and started telling me all about school! it was great!
On his third day of school I decided I would take him to school, and then let him ride the bus home... there are just too many new things going on for him, plus I don't like him to be unsupervised while he is waiting to go in his classroom... I guess maybe I'm being over protective, but I want to make sure he is ok, and that he knows for sure where he is supposed to go..... I'll have to let him take the bus to school as it gets colder and snowy, but until then, I'll take advantage of being able to be there for him.
This picture is after his first day of school, they made that hat in his class...
He actually came up with the thumbs up!!!
He wrote on his hat a couple of things he knows... STOP, GO and his name backwards....hahahaha
This picture is on his second day while waiting for the bus...

What a cutie! I'm glad he's doing so great. I'll have to show Maci these pics. Can you believe they're so grown up! I haven't let Maci take the bus to school yet, I wasn't planning to ever let her go but she told me today that she wants to. . . we'll see :) We miss you guys, tell Josh Hi from Chris and Ethan Hi from Maci. Chris is having email issues, so tell Josh he's trying to write back ASAP! I should just have him use mine. Anyway, we miss you guys!
He's so awesome! They grow up too fast. I love the new layout of your blog
