Dylan's first day of Kindergarten

It was a big day today in the SanB household.  The day Dylan has been waiting for is finally here.  It's time to go to Kindergarten which means he gets to ride the school bus... finally.  It doesn't get any better in the world of a five year old little boy.

The night before we prepped Dylan for his big day by showing him his new lunch box, talking about his new school, his new teacher, and school bus safety.  He went to bed a happy guy.

So many highlights, just so we would never forget:

-Daddy had to drag Mommy's butt out of bed at 6am
-Dylan jumped out of bed as soon as he woke up in the morning, got on his uniform and brushed his teeth (wonder how long this excitement will last??)
-A hearty breakfast cooked by Daddy:  eggs, taylor ham and cheese sandwich
-Walking to the bus stop (in the rain)- all four of us
-Logan giving his big brother a "brother hug" (see below)
-Taking lots of pictures to remember Dylan's big day
-Bus at the stop on time:  6:55am
-Daddy ALMOST missing Dylan getting on the bus (good thing he runs fast!)
-After dropping him off, driving to Reverend Brown to see him get off the bus and walk into the school
-Logan's non-stop "I miss DD"
-Mommy's tears 

 Silly faces before bedtime on the eve of Dylan's first day of Kindergarten

 Took this picture to make sure we always know which bus he's on - Jefferson Frogs BUS # 549

Have a GREAT first day at Kindergarten, Dylan!  We miss you already and can't wait to hear about your new adventure when you get home this afternoon.

P.S.  Yes, today, Mommy was the kind of Mom we have disliked for many years - the kind that held traffic and took her sweet time getting her baby in the school bus.
