Having kids makes you so sentimental. This morning was the last time Dylan will ever catch the bus to afternoon kindergarten. He's been the only boy at the bus stop, with five girls, all year. Its been so nice having our mornings of leisure, meandering out to the bus stop at 11:20 each day. Next year will be a whole new world of scrambling to make it by 7:20 a.m. Thank goodness we have the next 11 weeks off of school to get used to that concept.
It's been a year of watching him make new friends and become even closer to old friends, develop his writing and reading skills, interact with teachers, and have even more reasons than before to feel so proud of him. I never once worried he wouldn't do well in school this year. Its just been amazing watching him transform more and more into his own person.
In just over an hour and a half, he'll step off the bus for the last time this school year and I hope to get that on camera, too. I have a box of popsicles ready to help all the kids celebrate, and then I promised Dylan I'd take him somewhere this afternoon to pick out a new Webkins as a reward for having an awesome first year of school.
Well done, buddy.
