Yep, it’s true. My big boy is off to school. He’s there right now! Although if you ask his little brother, Leo’s on the school bus. I guess he thinks he’s going to ride the bus around all day?
Yesterday was orientation. It was a bit touch and go at first. Mostly go, if by “go” you mean “leaving out the door” and forgetting the whole kindergarten thing. But once they called his name, he went right up and never looked back. What a big boy!
Today was the real test, though. Today was the day Leo would get on the bus and ride all by himself to school. He happily picked out his own clothes and then changed them after I convinced him long sleeves would be a little warm on the sunny playground.
Setting off for the bus stop. (Note what the son of liberals chose for his backpack.)
Jonas was unfazed by the whole thing. (When we were walking back to our house and asked him, “who’s NOT going to school today, he happily cheered, “ME!”)
Let’s hear from the boy himself about this monumental day.

Here it comes…
There he goes…
All smiles. What a big boy! 
Congratulations my little Leo! I can’t wait for you to get off the bus so I can hear your sketchy, unreliable narrative of everything that happened.
WOW :)
Looks like the start of a great first day! How are you doing?
haha, sketchy and unreliable is very funny to me.
So cute! Good luck to Leo! I love Jonas in his tie-dye shirt and Leo in his camo back pack. =) (I’m very liberal and Brad, clearly, is not…haha)
Congratulations to Leo (and to you too for making it through the send-off). What a wonderful collection of photographs to commemorate this special event. Also interesting is your commentary…specifically about Leo’s choice of backpack and the “sketchy, unreliable narrative” you’re sure to receive tonight. Have a great day, Leo!
adorable!!!! he’s gonna do great!! love that last bus pic! :)
Im soo proud of him too ! He is a bright, charming, and lovable child ! You and Matt did a beautiful job raising him ! Congratulations Leo, you will do well in Kindergarten !!!
Go, Leo, go!! Such fun pictures. Can’t believe either one of us had to be taking first day of school pics. Time…it flies!!
