Mason's first day of first grade, and how Mom ruined it!!

Can I really be old enough to have a child in first grade?!!!!!  Life sure goes fast.  Mason was quite ready to get back to school, and handled everything like a pro.  That is, until mom decided to step in and mess everything up...
Last year on the first day of school, it was really hot outside, and Mason (who has issues with motion sickness) threw up on the bus.  It was really hot again on Tuesday, and I was afraid we were going to have a repeat of last year.  So I called the school and told them that he would not be taking the bus and I would pick him up.  I went to the school, and waited for him by the library.  I finally see him walking down the hall, crying, with an adult from the school walking with him.  I was so concerned!  I rushed to him, and asked what was wrong, to which he replies(with many tears flowing) "I want to ride the bus!"  The lady who was with him said he'd been upset for a while.  I had NO idea this was going to happen!!  The bus had not left yet, and he was so distraught, that I decided to let him ride the bus.  He arrived home with no illness, and then reported that he had a great day of first grade!  For the most part.  :)
So grown up!
1st grade!
The lady in the dress is Mrs. Ripper, Mason's teacher.

That was so sad! I know those feelings from my own boys. Reed got to ride the bus to Early childhood spec. ed. and Douglas had to be driven (state program). Douglas was very upset, but got over it eventually. Now they both ride the bus and love it. Maybe you could send a barf bag with Mason.
I know what you mean about having a or a couple 1st graders. They are getting too smart and too grown up already.

Oh crazy. How is it to have him gone all day long. I'm still trying to get use to Audrey and Hailey being gone all day long.

That is too funny about Mason. It's those little things that stick out in kids minds huh.
