Week One Complete

Well, we did it...we managed to complete an one entire school week. One 4 day school week but heck it's a start. Now only one million more in his lifetime to go...woohoo!
Day One- filled with enthusiasm and happy happy happy. Day Two-"what, you mean I have to go back? I already went to Big Boy School". Day Three-Less fuss. Day Four-Even Better.
So despite falling asleep on the bus twice on the way home and once actually falling off his seat, Van seems to be finding his way as a student at Big Boy School. Getting details about his day or his new friends is slow coming but that's not terribly surprising. Every day as we all review our favorite part of the day, Van's comment is usually "seeing Zak or hugging Mommy at the bus stop". Thanks to my friends and neighbors who have actually spied on him at school, he does appear to be having a great time in the classroom and the hallways and cafeteria. So thankful that this special big brother is making the transition but bittersweet to see him growing up so fast.
