My Baby is at her first day of Kindergarten....all day long....right now as I type. She was only a little nervous. I wrote I love you on her hand and told her to look at it if she was nervous or missed me. I know one thing, I sure miss her and her brothers!
Last year Brett watched out for Jake at school. He was the strong, brave big brother. Now Brett has moved on to Middle School
This morning I tried to tell Jake it was now his turn to take care and protect Brylee....make sure she has someone to sit with on the bus....make sure she wasn't scared when she got off the bus...make sure she has a friend at 1st recess. If you know Jake he is is a feisty one! I heard "I know, I know Mom." To say the least not a very reassuring big brother. And lets be honest I forced him to hold her hand for the above picture.
They jumped on the bus...notice Jake not paying much attention to his little sister behind him. But Brylee was fine. She did not even look back. She jumped right on!
Poor Brett is sick today. On the way to the doctor we stopped by the school to spy on the Jake and Brylee. Brylee was running around holding hands with several girls and was just fine. And guess what Jake was doing? That's right, he was following her every step. Not trying to play with her just guarding her, protecting her. Just like the AWESOME big brother he is.
And a picture yesterday of my Brett walking down to catch the bus at 6:44 am....that actually forgot to pick up this entire block. It was a nice long 35 minute wait on the first day of school. This year he looked so little standing with a bunch of High Schoolers....he was the only kid in Middle School at the bus stop. Brett was a nervous wreck about starting Middle School. I am very proud of him. He faced his fears jumped on that bus and walked into the Great Big Middle School and had the best first day of Middle School.
