First Day of Kindergarten

Well, my little girl went off to kindergarten this year. I never thought I'd see the day. Really! I expected to homeschool, so I never anticipated her getting up and going on the bus to school. Well, circumstances arose that prevented us from beginning this year, so, off she went. I must say it has actually been very good for her. She loves school and looks forward to doing her homework!!! The hardest part was sending her on the bus and on day three one of my worst fears took place. My little guy and I were at the bus stop just like the two days before. We watched the bus approach and stop, but, my big girl didn't get off the bus. Okay, I climbed up the steps and searched all the little faces looking back at me. My baby was not one of them! I told the bus driver she was not there and her reply was, "Well, I guess she wasn't at school today." Say WHAT!??!!! I put her on the bus that morning I think I'd know if she was at school. Long story short, they put her on the wrong bus to go home. Forty five minutes later my baby was safely back in my arms again. Not something I ever want to go through again. She wasn't scared when she got off the bus at the school but, she definitely didn't act like it was no big deal either. However, that very night when another Mom asked her what her favorite part of school was she didn't hesitate and said, "Riding the school bus!" So, my big girl is growing up and this Mom is learning she has to let go a little.
