School Bus Riding



Sam insisted he was ready to ride the school bus today.  I thought it was a little early, but who am I to decide for him?  I'm only his mother, right?  So we headed off down the street.  And he was more than ready.  (i asked his permission before whipping out the camera at the bus stop) After a few pictures, he climbed right on, walked to the BACK of the bus, and sat down with the 6th graders.  Guess he doesn't know that the back of the bus is for the older kids.  But they scooted over, and off to school he went.  sniff sniff, it was the bus ride that got me, not the actual school part.  He's so independent.  I'm proud of him. Go conquer the world, Sam, or at least the elementary school!

First Day of Kindergarten






Sam went to his first day of kindergarten today.  The morning started a little rough. Sam insisted he didn't need to go, he didn't want any new friends, and I could teach him everything I know.  Eventually he relaxed and he had a great morning.  His teacher seems great, and he loves his new school.  It helps that his best friend is also in his class.

Andy Had a Birthday!!




Hey Andy, Happy Birthday!  
Andy worked all day, so when he arrived home, we gave him his presents, sang him 'Happy Birthday',  & ate some cake.  Andy and I then headed down to the Plaza for a delious dinner at Brio.  Yummy!
