Green Eggs and Ham to start the year off right

Zane getting off the school bus

Yesterday was a huge mile marker for our family. Zane started Kindergarten. He has only been asking to go for about 2 years, so he was more than ready, and so was I. All 4 of us took Zane to school to drop him off at his classroom. He got a sneak peak on Friday, so he was familiar with it and his teacher (who is about 70 years old and can barely move, it's a hoot). There were no tears from any of us. The parents go to stay at the school for a PTA breakfast. I am so excited to start my PTA responsibilities.
Zane rode the bus home yesterday and he LOVED it!!!! When I asked him how school was, he said "AWESOME." phew! i wasn't all that worried, but you just never know how it's going to go. He told me about learning about the calendar, doing art, eating lunch (where he found $5 on the floor in the cafeteria), and of course, recess, and the bus ride home. The hardest part of the day is getting the grizzly bear to get out of bed. He has never been a morning person. But this morning he told me that he doesn't want me to take him to school anymore, he wants to ride the bus. Seriously? 2 days of kindergarten has rendered my unnecessary. I love it!!! He is so independent. I don't think I will get so lucky with Ryder. Speaking of, Ryder, he doesn't seem to mind Zane being gone. He starts Moms Day out next week so that I can spend time at Zane's school. We are all loving this new change in our life.
