1st day of Kindergarten

I can't believe that this day is here already. I knew that it wasn't going to be easy for me. Although I held it together until she was on the bus and driving off. She on the other hand, didn't look back and did very well.

 

She meets at the bus stop right on the corner in front of our house with 2 boys, Brock and Sawyer. Glad that she doesn't have to do it all alone.

Ed was off of work today because the plant was closed for the holiday. Had he not been around, I seriously think I would have been walking in circles not sure what to do with myself. We went to Costco and Walmart shortly after she left. Then Eddie and I played outside for a bit and went for a walk. Then it was lunch time and nap time. And before I knew it, time for my little girl to come home. 

Eddie took the longest nap he's taken since losing his pacifier a few weeks ago. But he did manage to wake up right before the bus rolled up. Seemed like the longest wait ever for those kids bus to pull up. And she was the first one to get off. She was hanging around the bus waiting for Brock to get off (he got off by his house instead) Such a thoughtful little girl she can be.

Thankfully, Rowan had nothing but good things to say about her day. She had to sit near the back of the bus on the way to school because it was so full. She saw Ella and Lily on the bus, and I think sat by Ella on the way to school. She had hot lunch today and that went well. She brought home a few projects already. And wants to go back tomorrow. What more can I ask for? 

That being said, her evening was a bit questionable. I imagine it was all due to being very tired from a long day. But she was more sassy and wild than normal. I think she was annoyed that so many people were wanting to hear about her day, and she just wanted to let loose at home. So we might need to evaluate what she needs in order to keep her grounded after school. Time will tell.
