First day of school

I dropped Sawyer off daycare this morning. His first day under the new school and he will be in 3rd grade. I am so proud of him. His score came last week from his Star testing, this is our first time to see one since the private school did not do it. He scored above average on all. Jeff and i agreed not to tell him. He might slack off.
On the way to daycare (not a very long drive) a gave him a short lecture about making a good first impression, looking people in the eye when they speak to you and being polite at all times.
Our neighbor lady Ms. Victoria offered to walk him to the bus since she is taking her son there on his first day, but i said no thank you since i want to make sure all his paperwork is in order, and good thing i did that since there was some time stuff that was not in order, like the daycare care lady Susana is not sure how she would walk him to the school bus if she is the only there in the morning. She said she thinks Sawyer is the only one there that goes to the bus stop in the morning, in the pm care, there would be a few more student from the bus. So i let him know that i can certainly switch my schedule that way Sawyer only goes to the pm one. She said not to worry, they will find a way to work around this. I am worried since i dont want Sawyer to stick out like sore thumb bec he will be if the rest of the kid have to vacate the daycare and walk with him till the bus came. I passed by the bus waiting area, and a bunch of student with their parents are already there. Hmmm, i was planning on dropping Sawyer off, clocking in, working briefly and going back to see him off at the bus station, but i can see that there is no parking nearby with all the parents doing this on the first day so i will do it on another day. i am excited for him to ride on the bus since i know he loves school buses. He had a restless night last night though. i am sure he is worried but trying very hard to be brave. I love my boys.
As for Tanner, his first day of kindergarten was last Thursday. But it was nothing special for him since he is going to the same school/daycare and since he was there full time during summer all the faces are familiar. He still proclaimed that he does not like school though. He gets to play in the big kids area now, not sure how he would feel about that since his favorite thing was riding the bikes and now they are off limites to him.
