Vaughn's 1st day of kindergarten

I can't believe I am staying up until 1am to do this post, but I figured this one was too important to delay. (I can't forget the highlights) We started out our morning with some Trix cereal and cartoons and around 8ish we drove down to the bus stop in front of eagle bluff. (Yesterday I almost had a heart attack, because I saw Vaughn coming down the hill with out an adult. In fact, Anne Hunt our neighbor was a little scared too - she pulled into the driveway before me. Apparently, after Tony picked up Vaughn he went over bus rules and how to walk to the bus stop rules. He forgot to mention it to me. I put him in the car and drove him up to the house. Then, I found out the reason he was down there and he promptly left the house to try again. The deck all the way down the hill. He was SO PROUD of himself for walking to the bus stop! He ran the whole way down the hill and back to practice - carefully looking for cars.) Once we were at the bus stop as you can see we eagerly anticipated the bus coming. Vaughn did a video camera interview and said he was the most excited to punch in his lunch code into the computer, meet new friends, and his backpack. While we waited, Vaughn was as cool as a kindergartener. Brock didn't know why we were hanging out near the road - he did not try to dodge traffic like I feared. Once the bus came, I had to quickly run Vaughn across the busy road to the bus. I had my camera around my neck and was able to take 2 quick shots before I had to run across the street. I must have looked a little silly! I thought I was going to cry when he got on the bus. When I got across the street, Brock was standing there with his bottom lip out crying. He kept asking where Vaughn go? I almost cried looking at him. Of course, there is video of this and pictures for me to take out when they are older and fight. Proof that they love each other! When Vaughn got home, I was working. I called him to get the update on his 1st day. He was a little chatterbox. (don't know where he gets that from :) He said that he got to his class room, met some new friends, and made some kind of hand print. Highlights of his day included - #1 being line leader, #2 remembering his lunch code after mommy for got to pack the practice piece of paper (we practiced), #3 going out on the big playground, #4 discovering that all kindergarteners are new to the class when they had to put name tags on the cots during nap time, #5 running out to the bus after school - he was 2nd on the bus. All and all it sounded like an exciting day - here are some pictures!
