It is with great sorrow and joy that I announce Avery had his first day of Kindergarten today. He has been eagerly anticipating this day for a few weeks and he had a great time. I failed to tell the teacher that I would pick him up from school today so I had to catch her from puting him on the bus. When I got there he looked at me and said , "Sorry Mom, I am riding the bus home." What could I say? I let him ride the bus home and he was beaming a huge grin as he got off. My baby doesn't seem like a baby all of the sudden. He made a huge step toward independence today and I could not help but shed a few tears.

Waiting for the bell to ring.

Starting to make some new friends already.

Getting off the bus right in front of our house. His bus drivers name is Chuck.
