Waiting for the bus
Getting on the bus for the first day!
Hailey was happy to be getting back to school and her friends. Lexi was excited to start this new chapter, but you could also tell she was a little nervous. I stopped by her classroom so she could give her friend Elsie a birthday card and it was so cute to see all of them sitting at their tables...nervous excitement! I left the room smiling.
Hailey's first day of Kindergarten was tough for me. I'm not one that cries easily, so I was a little suprised at myself when Hailey rode off on the bus her first day. I didn't cry dropping her off at preschool, so I didn't figure I would when she went to Kindergarten, but I was wrong. I was crying for at least 30 minutes after the bus left. So, based on what happened two years ago, I figured I'd do about the same thing with Lexi. I will admit, there were a few tears, but nothing dramatic!
Driving home from bringing in Lexi immunization records to the school, I got to thinking about how far we've come in the last 5 years. We had a couple scares with her during her stay in the NICU and we could have not been sending her to Kindergarten. I'm so thankful that God brought us thru that and she is a perfectly healthy, happy 5 year old.
