For school Lucas did a Flat Stanley project. We decided to send Stanley to Uncle Ben and Aunt Heather in Indiana where Ben is in school at Louisville. They did a great job for Lucas and even took Flat Stanley with them to Chicago!
Lucas started 1st grade yesterday. He was so excited and so nervous. I can always tell when he is nervous because his smile is a little bit different. He got to wear his Bulls t-shirt and use his new backpack and lunch bag.
I waited for him on the front porch. It is so nice that his new bus stop is at the top of our street. I can see him get off and I don't even have to leave the house! That will be especially nice this winter.
After school I surprised him with a giant "1" cookie that stood for 1st grade. He loved it and to may amazement ate almost the whole thing right then! He is such a great kid. He is fun, friendly, and smart!
Today was Lucas' first day of kindergarten! He was so excited but I could tell that he was nervous also (as you can tell from his smiles this morning). He was ready way before it was time to go. I drove him to the school this morning for his first day and then he rode the bus home. Tomorrow he will ride the bus to and from school. I am so proud of him and how well he does away from home. Last year his preschool teacher told me he was the best behaved in his class and I know he'll be that way this year. He may have issues at home with me but he is so good at listening to others.
I was surprised this morning at how emotional I got walking away from the school. I really didn't expect that at all. I was just so grateful for Ty and that I was holding him in my arms.
