Baby to Boy
Internet, I haven't quite been able to really put into words what it was like putting Thomas on the school bus for the first time.
I told myself I wouldn't cry. I believed myself and thought i was doing good until I saw the school but coming.
Before the school but came to a complete stop in front of our driveway, Thomas Trouble was off and running.
I didn't get to hug him. I didn't get to look him in the face and tell him to have a good day.
He was gone and I was in tears.
It could have gone badly. We could have both been in tears and I could have had to peel him off of me. I am thankful that he wasn't full of fear and that he was so eager to experience it it.
I was a wreck though.
I tucked my first baby into bed just 12 hours earlier and woke up to a little boy.
There is nothing "baby" about him and there probably hasn't been for a while. But it wasn't more evident to me than on the morning of his very first day of kindergarten.
