The big day finally came. Teresa has been nervous about the first day of kindergarten, but after orientation yesterday she became excited. She woke up early and declared that today was "the best day of her life!" It warms my heart to hear her so excited. It helps take away some of sadness about my little girl growing up.
Starting the morning with pancakes and smoothie!
Timothy was much more excited for 2nd grade than 1st. Learning that he gets 2 recesses helped his excitement level! He slept in a little today, but came bounding out of his room, wearing his crown, shouting "happy first day of school!"
We had some big smiles for our first day pictures this morning. Timothy and Teresa both carefully picked out their clothes and shoes. and were ready to go about a half hour before the bus would show up.
All the kids at the bus stop were out early this morning. It made for a long wait for the bus. It is quite a crew of girls at the stop. Teresa was the only kindergartner this year.
Teresa was jumping for joy as the bus pulled up. We gave lots of hugs and kisses to save through the day. Even Timothy had lots of kisses to blow at the last minute.
Teresa made it on the bus just fine. We asked Timothy to help her find a seat, but he sat with his buddy Michael right away. Teresa found a seat with Zoie and she was off. Troy met the bus at school and helped Teresa find her line. The kids had gone in already, but a para was there to usher Teresa in.
I came in and cried. I miss my sweet kids so much, but I am so proud of them and how they are growing up. Troy kindly surprised me with flowers and a sweet note. I do not want to focus on my sadness, but the joy of my kids growing up.
