My big girl went to kindergarten today. I cannot believe it's been 5 years since I had her and she was just a tiny baby. I know everyone says it, but time really does fly. I remember thinking when she was born that it would be forever before we got into all this school stuff but looking forward to the fun of it. Now not quit as fun and I wish time would slow down.
On the first two days Kindergarteners go an hour late and get out an hour early so they can get used to the new schedule without all the big kids around. I headed to the back door to take the girls out to the corner and there was the bus already, 10 to 15 minutes early! I yelled at Maddox "Grab your stuff and let's go! The bus is here!" and I ran out holding Piper in my arms to hold the bus. Maddox, Hadlee, and Jessi (and both cats as it turns out) followed me out. They're jacking up the street at that corner so it was really loud. The bus driver knew he was early and was very comforting about taking care of my little girl and said he would wait for her. Of course then he said he was only driving for these first 3 days and he was from Waterloo, IA. He let us have a moment to take a couple pictures. She hopped on happily and I went back to the opposite corner to find Hadlee crying because all the noise was scary. We then went to the front of the house to load up and head to the school to take her picture there and see her go in the doors but the bus driver came back to the front of my house because he was lost. So I sent him in the right direction and headed off.
Maddox's bus was the last to arrive and it was late so who knows where he went. But she and a few other kids made it. Some of the Moms ended up driving their kids to school because they missed the bus due to the bad timing.
Luckily I still have two at home to care for and don't know what I'll do when Piper goes to Kindergarten. I'll be so sad without any of my girls! I'm going to fill my day with bathroom cleaning today and constant nursing. Piper and Hadlee will keep me busy I'm sure! But I sure do look forward to 2:50 today!
