Last Day of Pre-School / First day of Kindergarten

The Three Amigos! Colin's last day of pre-school :-( Where does the time go? We are sad to leave such great friends and teachers at Goddard. We hope to stay in touch with Colin's BFF's Brennan and Kyle as they are all off to different elementary schools.

A day we will always remember, I only wish I had it on video. The morning started great... I was able to convince Colin to wear a collard shirt and dress a little nicer than his usual exercise attire (athletic shorts and a t-shirt).. we had lots of pictures with smiley faces and then the BUS came... OMG... The bus stop was CHAOS...there were about 40 kids plus parents so it was a bit overwhelming for a little 5 year old who already has a bit of crowd anxiety... Colin broke down and lost it... the bus driver almost had him get off the bus and it took John and I a walk on the bus to finally get him on... LOTS of tears... All the parents clapped when they finally shut the door and the bus was gone... I followed the bus to school with another mom and spied on him to make sure he was okay... He was all SMILES getting off the bus that day and has been happy going to school ever since. Colin is making new friends and seems to be enjoying his new school.
