1st Day Of School

I wanted to get this out right away to keep me busy, however, my eyes are quite blurry. Kaleb was so excited to start school today. He wears a uniform and gets to ride the bus. But, he was a bit nervous about the bus. So Clif got up and stayed home with Klara. They waited outside on the driveway and waved goodbye as Kaleb and I got on the bus. I rode the bus with him and I'm sure glad I did. It's noisy....were busses that noisy when we were kids??? Well, he was a little intimidated by that but did fine overall. I pointed out landmarks for him and he learned where he could hold on. At school, the teachers ushered all the kids to the building and all I got was a kiss.(boo hoo) He took off and went on his way....a little shy like, but followed the instructions. I walked home with my tissues in hand. I thought I had it together until I walked in the door and daddy says "who's that" to Klara. She came running to the door and said "mommy and Kaleb"....and then she says "where's Kaleb". Yep, more boo hoo from mommy. So we explained and now here I am. Clif went back to bed and us girls will go do some errands today to stay busy. Kaleb will ride the bus home today without me and I can't wait until 3pm to see him!! (neither can Klara)

I can't believe he's old enough for school already! It seems like just yesterday he was 10 mths old. Time flies so quickly! I'm glad to see you all are doing well. Take care! Judy
