1st Day of 1st Grade

Wow what a day! Jacob started first grade today. He woke up this morning and for the first time said he was so worried with tears in his eyes. It pierced my heart because I was worried for him. When we were ready we all went out the door and took a few pictures of course! He ran to the bus stop and the cameras were flashing. He was pretty quiet there which is not like him at all. He got on the bus and and Abby just stared in disbelief as Jacob disappeared behind the big yellow bus. I think she was confused about what was going on. She played with the rocks at our neighbors house while all the moms visited.

When we got home I turned on the tv and a commercial came on with a little boy about Jacob's age and she went running to the tv yelling, "Jacob! Jacob!" Then she took the picture off the table and said his name again. I wasn't sure what to do so we dusted and I cleaned the bathroom. We had lunch and then Abby went down for a nap. It was so quiet. I uploaded some pictures to facebook, talked to my mom and then a friend.

I waited at the bus stop for about 30 minutes before the bus came. He got off the bus went running by me to see to go play with a friend. I took some more pictures of him and then let him go.

We had dinner and packed his lunch for tomorrow. He had an ice cream sandwich that Jay picked up for him and we talked about his day. He showed us a mouse he made at school and a picture he colored. He talked all about his day and how he got off the bus with Nathan and together they found their classrooms. He was excited about school and all the things he did. He played freeze tag in gym class and was only tagged one time. He was so proud. So was I! When the ice cream sandwich was gone we all went to bed. Jacob fell asleep very quickly.

I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring!
