Last night, Marilu took a picture of Lucas's lunchbag and backpack. As you can see by the common theme, the kid has great taste in sci-fi movies.
I gotta admit I do miss the good ol' metal lunchboxes, but I guess it isn't practical. The way Lucas's school works--and I imagine others do as well--is that the kids don't have just one lunch break. Instead, there are two nutrition periods. So, his little Darth Vader bag has two separate zippered compartments, which makes it easier for him to figure out what to eat when. Though based on the fact quite a bit of his food was still there when he got home today, I think it'll be a learning process. Either that or Marilu needs to stop feeding him so much!
These next two pictures were taken this morning by Andrea, his daycare provider, prior to getting on the school bus.
In case you are wondering, the yellow crown goes on all the kids in his class and helps their teacher, Ms. Laroche, find them when they get off the buses.
Knowing how bad Lucas can be when we leave him with someone else, like a babysitter, we felt that having him get on the bus from daycare was for the best. However, I'll admit I drove over and parked down the street, crouched down behind the steering wheel, to watch this morning's departure. He was doing pretty well until right after that second picture. At that point, he finally lost it and started crying. Andrea had to carry him on the bus and put him in a seat. According to the bus driver this afternoon, though, he stopped about 10 seconds later and was fine. He even wanted to sit in her lap!
Finally, here he is getting off the bus this afternoon. He was pretty excited since both Marilu and I were there to pick him up. On most days, he'll still spend another hour or so at daycare.
Prior to writing this blog, I downloaded all the pictures from the camera that we took during the last month and a half. This includes the Newfoundland and Massachusetts vacations. There are a whopping 539 pictures/videos so it may take a while to get through it. Just warning ya. And then one of these days, I'll go back and catch up on April of this year and later. One day.

They say pictures are worth a thousnd words. These definitely tell a story. That fearful look as Lucas was getting on the bus was replaced by a look of pure joy as he stepped off the bus. You could tell the before and after pics without any commentary. Thanks for the timely entry. I still can't believe the little guy is in school. He's growing up too fast.
Love you, Grammy
