Unbelievable

i have a kindergartner.
(late post. she actually started two weeks ago)

shocking.
a few weeks before i had a melt down.
nervous that someone else would now be in charge of teaching her.
but, as the day approached, i wasn't nervous at all.
why?
because she was beyond EXCITED. not even the slightest bit nervous.
and the bus...she couldn't WAIT to ride.
(bonus: the bus stop is at our corner...fabulous!)

can you tell she is excited.
she woke up, got dressed, did her own hair, and put her back pack on.
then comes into my room (at about 7:45 am) and states that she is ready for school.
good news. i am so proud of you for getting ready on your own.
bad news. you have afternoon kindergarten.
it was a long morning of waiting.

i warned the bus driver before hand that i would probably follow her to school the first day!

she already adores her teacher!


and how was my afternoon?
nerve wracking.
i didn't dare leave home JUST IN CASE the school called me.
what a "first timer" i am!

i couldn't wait for her to come home.
i was so nervous she wouldn't get on the right bus.
or miss our stop.
but, she made it home.

and now, i quite enjoy, once again, only have two kids at home during the day.
but...he misses her the most and sits on the front porch everyday to watch her get off the bus.
