And he's off to start a new school year.
Getting on the bus he was a bit grumpy.

Bye mummy!
(read: get the hell off the bus mummy!)
There he goes to school. My big boy almost 9 in less than 2 weeks.
New back pack, because according to his cousin he's a big boy now and in grade 3 he doesn't need cartoon back packs anymore.
He's still my little baby boy though and I will coddle him when I need to.
He was awake before me this morning around 6 am. I'd been telling him for a week that he was going to school soon.
I remember not telling him in previous years and the first week was awful for him as he wasn't mentally prepared. My boy is smarter than I give him credit for. So the routine went smoothly without a hitch. I didn't miss a beat and didn't forget anything!
He was on the bus by 8.15 am compared to 8.50 last year. That's 35 more minutes he gets to spend at school. Which is a good thing!
Even more fun is that he gets to stay until 2.40 pm now that he's in the third grade. He'll be home around 3 pm.
That leaves me with 6 hours and 45 minutes during the day! Woot woot!!
I'm gonna miss the little guy during the day however I'm going to be even I'm happier knowing that he's going to be learning stuff that he and I both don't have the patience to teach him.
Everyone together now:
*sigh*
(the sigh of relief heard from mothers around the world)
Here's to a wonderful school year!
