Schools In for the Summer?

Yesterday morning was an exciting morning for us, it was the morning that Little Man got to see his school for the first time.  We never tell him things ahead of time because he still doesn’t understand the concept of time and would be dressed and ready for school at 2 am if we told him about it the night before.  So first thing in the morning we explained that we were going to go see his new school.  His face brightened and he said “Ride school bus”.  I explained that it was Little Kid school and when he went to Big Kid school he could ride a school bus.  This time he was going to have to ride with Mama and Papa.  He perked up even more and said “Mama and Papa ride school bus too!”  Once we finally convinced him he had to go in our car we went to the New Parents Orientation.  I was so proud of Little Man.  He went and played with the other kids without any protest.  He kept saying “my school” as he looked around.  It helped that he knew some of the kids there who live in our neighborhood.  All in all, my little boy is growing up and getting ready for school.  I think that this transition is going to be much harder on me than it will be on Little Man!
