Ben's First Day of School

Here's Ben getting on the bus for his first day of school. He's been pretty excited about it. We were reassured when he got on the bus, turned around and gave us a thumbs up. (This has always been Brian's sign for calming Ben's nerves.)

We meet Ben's teachers yesterday at orientation and two other families. The other children seem to love the program, plus there's only four other boys enrolled right now. We're excited to see the progress he'll make. The two other boys had pretty good speech from what we could tell so far. Hopefully that's a sign of how much Ben can improve.

Ben returned home happy as a clam. His bus driver said 'it was like he does it everyday'. Ben said he had fun and he played. His only concern was that he thought he lost his picture ID tag, but we ended up finding it in his back pack.

I love this story! Ben will always make you proud. And that is coming straight from Grandma.

He sure does look like a pro coming off that bus. I hope he had a little treat waiting for him.
