Celebration Lunch

Although Tuesday was the first day of school, today was really the first "Real" day for Max. He is taking the bus both ways to school and his whole class is there today. I didn't shed a tear on Tuesday, I knew he was ready for school and so excited. Today was a different story. I was a nervous wreck about him taking the bus. Since he has afternoon Kindergarten, only Kindergartners ride the bus to school with him. He is the first stop so when he got on the big yellow school bus he was the only one on there. He looked so little and innocent and when the bus pulled away and he was waving his little hand at me, I literally thought I was going to throw up. Right after he left I jumped in the car and drove up to the school. I wanted to make sure that he got off the bus OK and knew where to go. He did great and was unloading his backpack when I met him in the class. I gave him a quick kiss and said that I would see him in a little bit. When I got in the car, Wayne called me on my cell to see how it all went....I burst into tears :-) Trying to keep it all together for Max, I finally lost it.
The picture below is of Jill and I having a yummy lunch today. We were meeting to celebrate that I finally have a couple free hours a day. I think the real celebration is that I survived Max going to Kindergarten and taking the bus!
