Off to School~Mosaic Monday

Please indulge a grandmother on Grandparents' Day for sharing more photos of her grandson's first day of school. He was so happy. So excited. No mama; no papa this time. He climbed the stairs of that bus like an old pro.



Hmmmm, I do believe I know why. Check the backpack; check the name of that bus.



Right there by the 16...THOMAS! Who knew that Thomas the Train was also Thomas the Schoolbus?

Thanks for visiting... It's so much fun to connect with the Mosaic Monday bloggers again!

Big Thanks to Mary at Little Red School House!

  9. All grown up and starting school --he's a adorable, Vee! Was his little brother upset that he wasn't going to school as yet?

    My grandson now loves Thomas the Train. I guess all little boys do!

  13. Oh Vee, he's looking so grown up- they just change overnight - He's lost that little baby look. It's tough on mama to watch their baby get on that big bus! Glad Thomas is going with him!

  21. Oh Vee,
    Sooooo cute. The first day of school, such a milestone. My girls like Thomas when Ringo Star used to narrate the television show form the UK. Does he still narrate the show?

    That doll house usually houses my Santa collection on my mantle. It was sitting there waiting for Christmas, so I thought maybe I can use it for my etsy display. It's much narrower than a typical one, some kind of original display I think.

    Your mosaic is adorable, and I love that last photo especially. Happy Mosaic Monday.

  23. He is adorable Vee. My son Massimo loves Thomas too and used the backpack last year. (then some big kid told him it was a baby backpack so he switched to Spiderman this year).

    ((Hugs))

  29. Hi! I found you through another blog and what grabbed my attention about your blog is that you were playing music from Anne of Green Gables! Kindred spirits! I sent my firstborn to first grade last week and he too didn't skip a beat! It's always the mamas and the grandmamas that have the harder time! :-)
    Look forward to seeing more of you here in Blogland!
