this morning was that fateful day when as parents you ship off your oldest child to school on the bus. We know that Kylie is going to have a blast and that she’ll excel in kindergarten, but it’s still hard to let go. We’re basically giving her up for 8 hour chunks 5 days a week. Of course, i do that every day when i head to work, so this might be harder on Erica, but i used to leave her knowing that she’d be with Erica all day.
Anyway, it was an exciting morning, and i was able to snap a few pictures to share.
this one is actually from yesterday at Kylie’s orientation

Here’s Erica getting Kylie’s hair ready this morning while the kids eat pancakes.

Kylie and parker ready to head up to the bus stop.

Daddy and his kiddos waiting for the bus.

There’s the bus. It’s go time.

Kylie’s sitting on the bus with her friend who lives across the street. Ready or not, there she goes!

i took a 15 second video of Kylie gettting on the bus as well. Erica and i are trying to get her attention but she’s pretty focused on getting on board. you can watch that here, but it might take a bit to load.
another milestone come and gone…wow.

This is big, man.
Wow! We just sent our oldest, Jackson, off to Kindergarten last week as well. It’s bittersweet watching them walk away, isn’t it? I’m going to be putting some pictures of it up this week on my site.
This morning in the car on the way to school, he asked me, “Daddy, do I have to go everyday? It’s so long!” I told him to suck it up and be a man.
Awwwwww. How are you two doing? I dont know if I could of sent her away on a bus. Drive her there maybe.
