Little Fox's First Day of School

Today was the day! The day we've been counting down to. One of the reasons we moved to PEI.

SCHOOL.

Little Fox started Kindergarten today. (Don't call it "Primary" here... people either glare at you, or stare at you, dumbfounded).

Yesterday, we decided that we'd take Little Fox out for supper. Just as we were leaving, the phone rang, and it was his bus driver! She invited us to stop in at her house on our way by (she lives at the end of River Rd, my running route)! So, of course we did, and Little Fox got to check out his bus, and try on his seat belt. Yep, that's right. His school bus seat belt. The first 2 rows of seats have 5-pt harnesses in them for the little ones. He sits in the very first seat, on the passenger side. Because of this location, we warned the driver that he is a TALKER, and we reminded him today that he can't talk to the driver the whole way.

Also, Grand Fox arrived yesterday to surprise Little Fox, and to be here on his first day of school.

This morning, we got up at 6. The bus arrives at about 7:40, so I knew this would give us plenty of time, no matter how slowly Little Fox ate his breakfast! He was ready with a lot of time to spare, so then proceeded to ask, every 2 minutes, if the bus is here yet.

Finally, it was time to get his sneakers on and go to the bus stop, with plenty of photos taken along the way, of course.

And then we saw the bus!

Look how excited he is! He's watching the bus turn onto our road. 


All smiles as he waves goodbye to daddy.

After the bus left, Red Fox and I went to the school to meet him and help him find his classroom. 

 Getting off the bus at school.
 Meeting his teacher, and putting away his things.
 Checking everything out
Writing his name and looking around

At the end of the day, his teacher called me to tell me that Little Fox "got along just fine today, but he might be a little tired". I thought it was so nice of her to call!

 All smiles on his return home, too. 

I asked how his day went and he said "GREAT!"
