I can't believe my cute little Noah has started kindergarten. I cried for a couple of days thinking about him going to school. It really hit me for the first time that from here on out he will be influenced by so many people and that I will no longer be able to just keep him safe in our home. I have realized the importance of family home evening and family prayer. He has really struggled going to school but once he is there he loves it. I was driving him every day to school but his teacher told me I shouldn't drive him anymore because it made him to sad but when he rides the bus he is over his sadness by the time he reaches school. I don't mind him riding the bus in the afternoon because it is just with the kindergarten kids but I pick him up every day. A couple of weeks ago I was asking him how his bus ride was and he said that he cried on the bus because he missed his mom but he said "It's ok mom I put my face by the window so no one could see me cry." It made me so sad but he is doing better. Every day I pick him up he is so excited about his day. So I know he loves it once he gets there. He always tells me about the new friends he has made that day. He has been bummed that he does not get recess!!! He loves doing his homework and is always so excited about what he has learned. He has made me so proud of how nice he has been to other kids. He told me one night that it makes him feel bad when other kids tease kids but that he tries to always be nice to them.

This is where he waits for the bus!!!

He told me his bus is to long and boring.
