Well, the time had finally arrived. It was time for Quincy to leave the comfort of the nest. He was more than ready to head out on his own. Dara and I had given him the best foundation we could while he was at home these past 5 years.
Over the preceding weeks, we had been talking more and more about his going to school so that he would be used to the idea when it actually happened. He never seemed excited or bummed out about it. As it got closer to the day to start school, Quincy was very excited to be able to go. He was equally excited about riding on the school bus. He had gotten to ride the bus the day before at the school’s open house. He also got to see his classroom and meet his teacher.
Dara had shuffled around her schedule some so she could be here when he got on the bus. The big day came and went for him like it was any other day. When I got him from school, he was all smiles and just a bit more excited at home (adrenaline from the day no doubt). We got to hear all about the neat stuff he did and were happy to hear that he was excited to keep going back.
If you haven’t seen them yet, there are some pictures from his first morning before he left for school.
