I am so proud of you all.
You kept my secret!
First day of school was an overall success.
Jaysen woke up at 6am, right on schedule. We still have issues with him venturing to my bed when he wakes up in the middle of the night, so that's where he was. I said, "Good morning... time to get up!" But not too cheery, 'cuz that's just asking for a meltdown.
He promptly returned to his own bed and informed me, "No thanks, I'm still just a bit sleepy." That's a helluva script right there, peoples.
Hmm.
So I did what any quick thinking mom would do-
Ran downstairs, put in Jaysen's favorite song, and blasted the stereo.
And who wouldn't enjoy waking up to "Numa-Numa"?
My neighbors love me.
Just as I hoped for, Jaysen flew downstairs.
So we jumped around and danced for a bit.
He went upstairs and got dressed- not in the clothes I laid out the previous night, but he got dressed himself!
He ate a little breakfast, and went outside to wait for the bus.
At 6:30am.
The bus isn't scheduled until 7:52.
Anyhoo...
The flippin bus never showed, so I drove him to school.
Called Transportation to see what the heck happened. They don't have him on the bus route.
Erp?
Well you better put him on it, and make sure he has a ride home this afternoon!
And they did.
Happy faces glistened in the sunlight, unicorns danced circles around a maypole, and life was good.
After school, Jaysen told me he had a "great" day.
And the data-sheet (must be said in a robot voice) sent home proved he was right! He told me about seeing his friends again, and how he gave Bella a hug and a kiss. Oy.
Whew. It's over.
First Day of school was awesome.
Way to go, buddy.

Woot! Doin' the happy dance for you & Jaysen!
Right on! Glad it went well!
Glad his first day went well. What is up with transportation not having him on their list, though? I would have been furious. You handled it great.
Awesome, congratulations and happy 1st day!!
Yahoo! It's always good to get that first day of school out of the way, and to have it be good (despite the bus!) is even better!
Great! I'm happy for you. How did the rest of the week go?
Your previous blog entry inspired me, so I copied your idea and gave you credit by linking to your entry.
Here is a link if you want to see it. Hopefully others will come see your blog, which is wonderfully funny.
