Off to School!

Well, Andrew's is officially in school! He's a kindergartner at Anthem K-8 school. He has been a little leery of starting school, but he woke up Monday morning ready to go! He was dressed by the time I got out of the shower. Normally, I would have to wake him up at that time. Thanks to Grandma Gail, he had some cool new clothes (and shoes, underwear, socks, hat, etc.) for his first day.
He loves his new Bakugan hat!

Jeremy came home from work so we could take Andrew to McDonald's for breakfast and then walk him to class. Here he is at the front of the school.

Here's his classroom! He knows his teacher (Mrs. Conrey) so I don't think he was nervous for class.

We found his seat, snapped a quick picture and bailed before any tears could be shed (by me, of course. Andrew and Jeremy wouldn't cry).
Jeremy and I headed back to work and our son went through his first day of school and everything was great! Andrew seemed to enjoy his first day, but he was TIRED Monday night. He did fine getting on the school bus and getting to his babysitter's house after school.
I was off Tuesday so I took him to the bus stop and got to see him with the kids from the babysitter's house. He is such a big boy now. It's funny to see him interact with the older kids (like he is just one of them) and he had so much confidence hopping on the bus and taking off for day 2 of school. I sure don't have to worry about that boy. As soon as he is confident in what he's doing, he's on his own. He wouldn't even turn around for a picture next to the bus (he was embarrassed that I even asked him to do that). I'm the embarrassing mom now, I guess.
Now I have Tuesdays and Thursdays at home by myself. I ended up cleaning the entire house Tuesday and now I have today to do my own thing! It's crazy, but Andrew was ready to go to school and I was ready for him to go to school!
