At long last, the day I couldn’t really imagine coming, is here. BOTH kids are in school, the same school, together, at the same time.  YIPPEE!!!  Sophie started two days ago, but as they stagger the start for the new kindergarteners, Max had to wait the extra 2 days until it was his turn to go.  And boy, they were l-o-n-g!!  But, he made it!  Max got to ride the big bus with his sister and all the other kids.  I met him up at school to go into his class with him for a few minutes to sort school supplies, then when his teacher, Miss Peterson, called them to go sit on the carpet, I got one really big wave (the pic in in the gallery below) and off I went.  Not a tear from me this time around (Max, I still love you just as much as your sister, I swear…) probably because he was so incredibly excited to finally get to go to kindergarten that I was too excited to even be a little sad that he is growing up.  It’s all good. 🙂  After his “half day” was over, he got on the bus and came home.  He was all smiles and energy after his first day… the first words off the bus?  “Mom… I LOVED it!”  Then he proceeded to eat an entire tray of sushi for lunch, so all that learning really made him hungry. Check out the pictures below… I think they are pretty cute!!
