Whoa, Vivian started her first day of school today!
I didn't get very good pictures this morning at the bus stop at the end of our driveway...everything happened so fast and I was thinking of other things, talking with them, etc., so maybe this afternoon when she gets off the bus I can get some more.
We are so excited for her.
She was thrilled.
She was sleepy at first when I woke her up (early! the bus came at 6:42!), but as soon as I said something about school she was alert and talkative.
Aaron made her bacon and eggs, and I sent a cereal bar with her in the side of her bookbag to eat on the bus. The bus ride was long for her this morning...all the way around Harborwood Rd. She was the first one picked up!
I am planning to take her to school in the mornings and then let her ride the bus on the way home. But this first week, we were encouraged to let them ride the bus in the mornings, too.
She was all smiles...sat in the first seat and waved at us until the bus pulled away. No tears (from anyone :)).
We didn't have any supplies for her to take yesterday at orientation, so her bookbag was full this morning, and she had to carry her restmat on the bus with her.
We woke Kate up for the first morning...she was still in her pjs and slippers! But I'm glad she was there to see her off. I was a little afraid that Kate would be upset that she couldn't go, too, but she wasn't at all...just happy for her big sister (and anxious to get back inside to finish the rest of the eggs ha!).
I know that this is the first day of a different season of life for our family!
Update:
I was able to get this priceless picture this afternoon when she was dropped off.
She came home at 2:30.
She said everything went well.
She told me:
what color shirt and pants her teacher was wearing
who she stood behind in the lunch line
all the details about her lunch
that no kindergartener in her class cried, hooray!
a description of some of the other kids' rest towels
where in the room she laid for rest time
there are no swings on the playground!
the bus driver was very nice and helpful
the kids at her table did great for their first day
she wants to go back!
