The yellow school bus!

My little Eli had a first today, He rode the bus to his preschool. He started a new preschool on Tuesday and because of the state program we are in there is also available bus pick up and drop off. He goes to school 4 days a week now so having the bus come right to the house makes my life a lot easier! Today in fact Kai was still sleeping when it was time to leave so I was able to leave him in bed while I went down the driveway to put Eli on the bus. NICE!

His new school is part of the early special education program run here in the state. Its actually part of a national program that's helps children who need a little bit of extra help to get ready for school. His new teacher is really nice and I can tell that she is going to be great with Eli just by how she dealt with him these first few days. His old teachers at the private preschool we took him to were fantastic but Eli needs a little more focus than a traditional school can provide. He is defiantly going to have to work now and be held accountable for his behavior!

It seemed so strange to be sending a 3 year old off to school on the bus. I choked up a little. no tears, but had some watery eyes. They had these neat little seats with harnesses built in to keep the little ones safe on the bus, like little jump seats on a plane! Eli was so excited to ride today and I know that this alone will more than likely keep him excited for school as we start this new adventure!
