First Month of School!

We have nearly completed the first month of school! Hard to believe. It seems like only yesterday that we made that long, lonely walk back from the bus stop after putting them on the bus. Luckily Brandon was so excited about it, it helped ease Mom and Dad's apprehension. Mom and Dad (especially MOM!!!) had been worrying about that first day the whole summer. Brandon woke up early that first morning and was ready to go (after one month - getting up is getting a little harder than that first time!). All four of us walked to the bus stop and were the first waiting on the bus (as usual). After he got on the bus, the bus driver pulled him aside so he could get a picture of his first bus ride to school. On the way back, Mom and Dad hid their tears from Brittany since she was going on the same trip two days later. You can see pictures of Brandon's first day (and others) here: View Album


Two days later Brittany was going on her first day of Pre-K at Farmingdale. She was excited, but a little more apprehensive than Brandon was. Luckily, she had her big brother to ride on the bus with her and had told her how much fun he had been having. We had been worrying about how she was going to be. She was a little nervous, but Brandon took her hand and she walk right on the bus. She got to stand and get her first day picture and then had to sit in the front, separate of Brandon. The walk back home was just as hard for Mom and Dad and this time even lonelier. Brittany was all smiles when she got off the bus and went right in to tell Mom all about her day (probably two sentences) and to make cookies. Although she didn't want to get on the bus on Day 2, she has enjoyed going to school ever since. You can see pictures of Brittany's first day (and others) here: View Album
