First Day of School...

The night before your first day of school is filled with anticipation...
You went on a little dinner date with the "Regular" grandma, she even bought you a toy...as long as you promised to go to school!

At bedtime, we said our normal prayer...and Daddy interjected with "Lord, help us all to have a good day tomorrow!". And Parker added, "Lord, help me to be stronger than my parents so they can't put me on the bus tomorrow!"

When morning came, you were pretty alert and didn't put up too much fuss getting dressed. But as the bus got closer, you clung to your dad. He ended up carrying you onto the bus and setting you down in your assigned seat while you cried! And we could hear the cries as the bus left!

That's when we began to cry and I think it was more traumatic for us than for you. The bus driver called at 8:20a.m. to tell us that you were fine and had stopped crying by the time the bus got to the end of our road. Caleb came to sit with you and the two of you played Peek-A-Boo with the bus driver! :) Let's hope her third eye was on the road!!

I am very grateful that the driver called....
It really helped your dad and I to feel much better about the departure.
I know your having a wonderful time and we are so happy for your progression and looking forward to this new chapter beginning for you!
I love you, Peanut!
