The Ups and Downs of The Big K

Once Upon a Time. In a little county far far away.... a boy went to Kindergarten and....
He ate a BIG Breakfast of waffles and bacon because there are no snacks at school *What!*
He got his yellow bus ticket and stood proudly on the front steps ready for his journey






















He waited with his Mom & Grandmom at the bus stop for a long time (45 minutes to be exact)! Then Mom went to work and to answer the infamous question - No crying... but some worry!


At the end of a very long day (did I mention no snack) the little boy arrived safely home AND



He made a dash for the front door and wouldn't even look back at his Mom calling out to him. When they reached the door he opened it looked back with tears rolling down his face and said "Mommy..... I missed you". NOW that tugged at my heartstrings! They seem so Big and really they are just tiny.... it's hard to remember that sometimes.



We made it all better by celebrating with ice cream.... until..... tomorrow!

Can't believe he's off to school already! That bus stop brings back the memories. I'm glad you all did good.
