Hello Kindergarten! We got to meet his teacher, Mrs. Nakasato, on Friday and see where his classroom is. I was just hoping to have a seasoned teacher for him and lucky he's got one. I just thought he would have a better chance at school if it wasn't a newbie teacher. He is today officially 5 years old! I've been so nervous about him actually getting on the bus even though he said he would. I remember getting on the bus and crying the whole way while laying on the floor of the bus holding the bar underneath the seat. I was really hoping it would go that way for him. Luckily we have 2 girls that live next door that go to the same school that rode with him on the bus so it made it that much better. I don't technically think they were supposed to get on the bus as the bus number they told me wasn't the same as Zachary's, but today I was glad for that. He got on the bus with absolutely no crying. He did latch on to my leg for a moment and then raced to get on the bus. He hopped on and waved threw the window and off it went. And in case you are wondering I didn't cry either....

Oh man! Kat, what a traumatic childhood memory for you, luckily Z-man didnt have the same experience. I love the pic of him walking down the street w/ his backpack on, TOO CUTE!!
I totally didn't know of her traumatic experience until this last year... I walked the girls to school in Chicago until we moved back to Longview for a brief period at the end of Katrina's kindergarten year. My poor mom put her on the bus that day for me. I was out job hunting. Obviously her sisters weren't too sympathetic to her trauma. I am very glad Zach had a better school bus experience. Thank goodness we live through these trauma's.
