Off to Kindergarten!

KennaDee's first day at school! I can't believe that I have a Kindergartner.

Here's how the day went:

8:00 - KennaDee woke up (I had to wake her)

8:05 - rolled out of bed, got dressed - she picked out her favorite outfit

8:15 - ate breakfast

8:30 - started our journey to the bus stop

(she would wear this everyday if I let her. Thanks Nana!)

And this is her new backpack!

8:40 - walking up to the bus stop

My little girl is not so little anymore.

8:45 - me following the bus to school

I know, maybe I'm pathetic, buy my baby girl just went to school. This is a hard day for mama.

9:00 - I greeted her as she got off the bus, kissed her on the cheek, whispered in her ear that I love her and I hope she has a good day.

Tears started to well up so I darted back to my car before she could see me.

She was scared to get on the bus and nervous to go to school but honestly........

this was me:

I forgot to get a pic of me balling so this is an imitation of me. And I did this periodically throughout the day.

I think I had a harder time than her.

These are the questions that constantly went through my head all day long:

"I wonder what she's doing."

"Is she having fun?"

"Is she participating well?"

"Has she made friends yet?"

"How is her teacher?"

"Will she eat enough for lunch?

"Have I taught her well enough to stand up for what's right?"

.........

3:40pm - I head to the bus stop to pick her up and this was her getting off the bus:

She said she looked a little excited but as soon as she saw me, her lip turned to a frown and her eyes widened. She looked scared! She said that there were soo many people on the bus and it was way too loud for her.

Sad times.

I asked her how her day was and she said good. I asked, "What did you do?" She said, " I can't remember."

"Ahhhhhh!!!" was my response. I so badly wanted to know what she did all day and she couldn't remember. Eventually things started to come out one by one but still.....

We shall see how tomorrow goes.
