It's official! Cian has started Kindergarten! Wednesday Cian started his first day of school. We started the day by watching home videos of Cian as a baby. This was a big mistake. I will clarify later. Then we got ready to head down to the bus stop. Cian refused to wear anything even a little dressy for the occasion. He refuses to wear shirts with collars. I think he looks so cute in them, but the days are officially gone where I can dress him as I like. :-( He decided on his favorite gray shirt (he wore it all summer) and a regular pair of shorts. I gave in knowing that I wanted him to feel comfortable. Cian is also riding the bus to school. This is a little silly since the bus ride is about a minute long. He was so thrilled about going on the bus that we gave in. (The minute ride actually helped in the decision. Not a lot of time to get into trouble!) The bus came about 25 minutes late. Cian was so ready he just climbed on and didn't look back. I was glad I kissed him about a million times that morning....because he was so excited I didn't get that final hug! As the bus drove away I broke down...Images of the earlier baby movies came rushing into my head. They were so vivid since we had just watched them earlier in the morning. Kevin and I gave a hug to each other and then I had to drive myself to work sobbing about my baby boy. Those movies just replaying over and over. My best advice to anyone going through this in the future, stay away from the baby movies. Cian has gotten so big in 5 years. I can't imagine what another five will bring!
Cian said that his first day of school was long and that his teacher talked a lot. He loved the playground and the cafeteria. He was very excited to go back the next day. We are so proud of him.
Dear Kindergarten, Please treat my baby well! Love, Cian's Mommy

Mary said the same thing about the first day of school...the teacher talked a lot! I stay away from the baby pics. They make me cry. It is funny that Emma and Cian both had the same body position for their kindergarten photo. Emma has her legs and arms out too for my fav. kindergarten photo of her!
