I am officially the mom of a school age child, and a very independent one at that.
My sweet, 5yr old, little Luke started his first day of 'big school' on Tuesday.
He is attending Grant Elementary school in Livonia.
He goes to school from 8:54am - 3:58pm (totally random hours, I know. lol)
His teacher this year is Mrs Dimopoulos.
I drove him to school on Tuesday morning so that I could see him to his class and get some photo's.
On the way to school he said, "Mommy, tomorrow I want to ride the bus to school".. my heart jumped out of my chest. I thought for sure I had at least a couple weeks to drive him to school before he even thought about driving the bus and before I even had to start considering it... When did he get so independent?
At school, he happily went in, found his seat and seemed completely unconcerned about me leaving him. He was sooo ready for his first day of school. I was so excited for him.
Yesterday morning, he was still determined to ride the bus, so I walked him to the bus stop, waited with him until his school bus arrived, and then swallowed the lump in my throat as I watched my heart drive away on that big yellow bus.
I know he'll do great this year. I'm so proud of that sweet boy.
