Kindergarten

Nathan is officially a Kindergartener !!!! I can not believe how fast this came. He has been so excited to start school asking most days how much longer. We went to meet his teacher a few nights before school started. He was very quiet and seemed so nervous. He didn't say a word the whole time . When we got in the car he started rambling on about how his teacher told him what a great job he does standing in line! On the first day of school we got up and ready! He was so excited and looked so handsome. We drove through and I dropped him off :( I am still sad to this day because I was told that we were not allowed to go in with our kids on the first day . It was to help them adjust to school faster. Well sure enough I saw a ton of parents going in! He hopped right out of the car like he had done it a million times before. He almost forgot to give me a kiss goodbye!!! I made sure that didn't happen. I was waiting all day to pick him up and hear about his day. Kyle and I both got to the car line early in hopes of picking him up first. Well I think everyone else had that same idea. We sat and sat and sat. Finally it was our turn and we could see Nathan. Nolan rolled down his window and kept saying Nay Nay!!! Nay Nay! . We got up and he hopped in the car. He said he had a good day and that was it. I couldn't get any more info out of him. Later Daddy got the scoop from him and it turns out the car rider thing was not okay with him. He really wanted to ride the bus. I said no way. The next day we did the whole thing again except I snuck in this time since I had stuff to drop off ( good excuse right ). After school I got the same response and the day before, he wanted to ride the bus. I talked to some moms at football and they all promised the bus would be safe. I agreed to let him ride the bus the next day . He was soooooo happy. One of the boys who plays football with him even saved him a seat on the bus and made sure that he knew where he was going. I thought that was so sweet and it makes me feel so good that he has big first graders watching out for him. Every since then he has been riding the bus and doing great! He tells me his favorite part of school is riding the bus. His teacher called the remind us of a meeting the other night and left such a sweet message about Nathan. She said that he is such a good student and a great example and role model for the other kids in class. It makes me so happy to hear such sweet things about Nathan. We know what an amazing kid he is around here but I always worry about him when he isnt home. It makes me feel so much better about him not being here with me when I get messages like that.
