Tyler startin' kindergarten

I don't think anyone can prepare you for sending your child off to school. At least I wasn't quite prepared, even though my kindergartner was more than ready! What can I say, its tough being a mom. You long for them to gain independence and then when they do this--in spades--well, its hard to let 'em grow up and send 'em off on the school bus.
I'm proud! You all know that. Tyler is so ready and so grown up and really has matured over the summer. He is so proud of himself being able to get on the bus and go to school. He has really gained self confidence, by leaps and bounds, this summer, and it just makes this Jersey mama's heart bloom! He is ready: smart, creative, kind, articulate and ready to learn and have fun! He'll do great (and is doing great). Awe!
I held it together, for Tyler's sake. After he left on the bus, waving good bye to me and me to him, I broke down. My own mother assures me after doing this six times with her own children, that its normal and I'm non "loosing it." Only mothers know about this experience, how tough it is on US.
Kudos goes out to my hubby, God, I love him! He has been such a big supporter and trooper helping out where and when he can, with this new adjustment and routine in the Bohnert household. I will be fine, well, until Miss Cassie Ann makes her debut on a school bus, then round two will begin.
Happy Kindergarten Mr. Tyler! Study hard, have fun and watch out for those girls!

Cassie...all tears because she wanted to ride the bus, but when the sun came out the following day and she got to ride the trike to get Tyler off the bus, well, life was once good again!
