First Day of Kindergarten




Well David headed off to his first day of Kindergarten. He was so exited he was ready a hole 15 minutes early (a first for him) and insisted we go out and wait for the bus. He was so excited to get his school bag with a lunch box inside. David was crazy when he saw the bus coming up the street he was jumping up and down hardly able to wait for the bus to get to our stop. When the bus stopped he was right in there with the neighbor boys and found an empty seat. Livvy was right behind sure she was going on that bus too. She had been calling bus bus every time she saw a car dive by before the bus got to us. I had not realized she had no idea what a bus looked like. But she was a little miffed when I grabbed her from climbing on the bus.

When the bus had gone and David could no longer be seen smiling and waving Livvy began to say over and over “bus gone, David gone” in a confused and sum what sad voice.

I was not going to waist the morning so off we went to the grocery store as Livvy continued her pitiful observations ”David gone bus. Where David?” we had a quiet and quick trip and was in the van on the way home before 8:30 when Livvy saw a bus she was so exited “ David David bus David bus” she shouted. I am sure that it will be a while before Livvy realizes that David is not on the bus all day. She is already lonely. I asked her if she was going to go upstairs to play and she said “David play? David gone bus no play.” She is so sweet.

I wondered how he did. Spence sorta says the same thing. He gets so excited about how fun it was and just never remembers really what was so fun. Love it! He's a handsome kid!
