One down, one to go

Nolan just got on the bus, excited to start school! Who doesn't get excited seeing those yellow buses, patrolling the streets? His backpack was completely loaded with everything he needed. He'll probably come home today with it full of papers to fill out. He gets to be on the other side of the school now, K-2 on one side and 3-5 on the other. Last night he had his first night of baseball practice which went well. He's going to get to wear a jersey and a hat with his name on it! His first game is Saturday, so we'll update with pics soon.

Thomas starts Friday, but he gets to go in and meet his teacher tomorrow for an hour. His best friend Leo (who's going to another school unfortunately) is coming over today. We're going to make cookies for when Nolan comes home. Thomas is also learning to tie his shoes. Loops are tricky.

I can't help but feel a little older this year. It's weird to have 2 kids in school. It's also weird to be answering friends' questions about what to expect with kindergarten. I remember being so nervous! Now I'm a veteran I guess. At least until middle school hits and it starts all over again.

Happy Birthday to Mathew yesterday! 37--wow! I'll be joining you in a couple weeks. Today was my father-in-law's birthday. I wish he could be here to see Thomas getting on the school bus for the first time. He'll be here in spirit. We'll send pics of that soon too.
