Ty Started Kindergarten

So Ty was less than happy to start Kindergarten. He was excited but also VERY nervous and he definitely didn't want me to leave him there all by his lonesome. The first day was only Ty and 4 other kids to ease them into the school schedule. Everything was fine until I had to leave and then Ty started crying. After a lot of coaxing, a quiet prayer and the promise of cookie making after school he sat down and stopped crying and let me go. The next day I had to drop him off outside and he looked like he was about to have heart attack. He tried to get out of the line. He tried to pull me with him. The worst was when the teacher took his hand and he looked back with giant tears rolling down his cheeks and stretched his arm out toward me and I couldn't do anything but watch him getting coaxed inside.  No fun being a mother at those times.

Ty on his first day.....less than thrilled to be there.

BUT, then I walked down and waited for the bus to come and drop the kids off after school. The bus drove  past me and I looked up and saw Ty's big smiling face in the window of the bus. He looked like he had just won the lottery!! I couldn't stop smiling either 'cause he just looked so cute. Then him and Laney got off the bus and immidiately we were surrounded by all the other kids getting off at the same bus stop. They were all telling me about how it was Ty's first day of school (which I think I already knew hahaha) and this one kid told me about how he knows how to make kites and he was going to make Ty one because Ty was very shy. It was so cute 'cause all the kids were really excited for him to be going to school and driving the bus. It made me so happy that he gets to drive on the bus with such cute kids who are so excited for him. They'll take good care of him and make sure he's okay.
