Well, summer is officially over for Sara Hailey. School started today, no more waking up at 7:30 now each day starts at 6am. She has to be in her class in her seat by 7:30am. Of course even earlier for my husband if he wants his shower in peace and quiet before the house wakes up.
We managed to get both kids fed, bathed and in bed by 7:45 last night. We picked out her uniform, shoes, socks, jewelry and hair bows. Brushed teeth, blew out her hair and took her cough medicine, all before 8pm. I was so proud of myself for getting them in bed at a decent time until I heard the toilet flush at 9:45 and Sara say that she couldn't go to sleep. Doesn't she know how hard it is going to be to get up tomorrow morning and how very quickly 6am will roll around?
We rubbed her chested with some Baby Vicks and she finally went to sleep.
The school was a madhouse of children, parents, boxes and bags of school supplies, baby brothers and sisters in gigantic strollers and book bags as huge as some of the children standing in a very, crazy, crocked line. A line I refered to as the derailed train line when I taught Pre-K.
Everyone must have walked their kids to class today. We had to park a block from school and let me tell you the humidity was awful today. My lens on my camera actually fogged up. LOL
She was a little nervous but all in all seemed very excited when she saw her classroom and went and sat down beside a friend from kindergarten. I think this year will be such a growing year for her. No more afternoon snacks or nap time this is the beginning of real school. I know she will do great, with lots of encouragement and we as parents doing what we are suppose to do... guiding her through this new chapter of her life~
