Mia's first day of Kindergarten!

Thursday, August 28, 2008




Her royal peachiness was all smiles yesterday morning as she arose out of bed. It was the first day of school, the day that my little girl will remember for the rest of her life. We had a quick breakfast and tore off the tags to her pretty new dress. Once all three ladies were ready for the big day, we headed out the door and up the street. Rachel was first, she was over the moon excited. Since Lexie was now a 6th grader, we decided to walk to Abby and Ethans bus stop for some photo taking. Once the bus came, we took Ashley to Barbs and then off Mia went to Miss Tonya's. It was incredibly awesome to see four little ladies all dressed so pretty on their first day of kindergarten. I ran home to take care of some odds and ends just to turn around and go back to see her off. Pulling around the corner I was saw my dads car and George's parents car. We are all ready for the big day. Eventually George came but was unable to stay because he was pressed for time. After waiting for the bus for well over an hour, the girls filed onto the big yellow vessel.
Did I cry? Not yet, no time to do that. I had to hop into my car and beat the bus to the school. Big George followed as best he could but my foot was on the accelerator. I couldn't miss her getting off the bus now could I? Because the bus came late the ever looming battle for parking was simply non-existent. She was among the last ones off but as stunning as ever. All the little children were ushered quickly into 3 lines to uncode which child belonged where. Room 1 was the first stop! Mrs. Mays was all ready for them with a huge smile on her face. I still wasn't crying but I was darn close when Mia found her desk and sat down at those tiny tables for the first time. I took one last picture and headed towards the door.
As I walked through the door way of room 1, my sunglass were put back on my face and tears began to run. They were tears of pure happiness that Mia was able to attend school, something that we were afraid wouldn't happen this year. She is a big girl now, and I wish I didn't have to let that happen. Can't she stay my little baby forever?
Check back this week, I will post all about Disney and our rain-tastic vacation!
