First Day of School!

So my oldest daughter , who is 7, started School yesterday! She's now in grade 2! She also started a new school, as we moved during the summer.

We got up at 6 am and she got dressed, ate breakfast and did her morning maitenance.
She takes the bus, except we took her to school yesterday, as is our tradition for the first day of school. She was so nervous but then found a friend that she had made over the summer and all was well again! She took the bus home from school yesterday and her sister and i were waiting for her at the end of our driveway. Everything was so normal. She had no issues at all! It's not that i was expecting issues, but rather everything was so new to her i was afraid that the stress might be to much. She had never been to a new school before, never taken a school bus... heck! never been in grade 2 before!

BUT! she handled it well! and I'm so proud of her!
SO this morning she got up on her own! did her morning routine and was eager to ride the bus to school! We stood out waiting for the bus and she was so excited when it finally came into view! I gave her a hug and watched her climb the bus steps and sit down.

My baby girl is growing up! it was wonderful and heartbreaking to watch her climb the bus and drive off. I'm glad she's so confident with herself that she has no problems like this.

Way to Go Bug! Mommy is so Proud of you!

it's always bittersweet to watch your children grow. you are happy for them, but sad to lose your baby.
