Perhaps I should title this post, "My first day with MJ at school" since I can't really blog about MJ's day. He's only been gone an hour and a half. I have been picturing this day in my head since the day he was born. It was to be a sunny late summer morning filled with excitement. We woke to find pouring rain but no less excited. MJ's been talking about going to school since I brought home his new backpack and clothes. Here are some pictures from our morning.
After we came inside the rain really started coming down. Fortunately the bus stop is right in front of our house or we may have gotten caught in the downpour. 
MJ had just spotted his bus coming up the road. He was so thrilled to finally be getting on one of those big yellow buses he's been staring at since he was 2.
It took Mike and I a while to decipher what was going on in this picture. I was wondering if MJ's leg fell off while I wasn't paying attention. Really he's stepping with his right leg and the wind is blowing in such a way that it appears he is short one leg.
At this point I was trying to snap a picture without letting anyone know the tears were coming.
Annabelle held back far less. Coming in the door she was bawling saying, "He's all gone. MJ's gone. I miss him!" I had to snap quickly.
Hopefully the rain will let up and I can get a picture of him coming off the bus. I hope he's smiling as big as he was going on.
