The day finally came. The day where I send my child in a bus off to school all on her own. To tell you the truth, I was completely ready for it. And so was Meredith. I am truly grateful that she missed the kindergarten cutoff last year by a mere 8 hours and 37 minutes so I wasn't forced to make the decision of if she was ready to go or not last year. Had she been born just a few hours earlier, I probably would have sent her but I am glad that I didn't have to make a choice and am grateful of that extra year she got at home. Anyway, she was so ready for school. The past two months have been pretty bad for her behavior-wise and she needed to get back on a routine AWAY from home.
She is in afternoon kindergarten. I wish our district offered all day kindergarten free of charge but I digress. Next year they will with the new legislation passed a couple months ago.
We went out to take a few pictures.
Her friend Lydia was out playing so we played all morning.
Then when it was time to walk to the bus stop, Anna wanted in on the backpack action.
Lydia is in her class so they wait at the bus stop together.
A rare snapshot of me in the picture.
And off they go!
I'm happy to report that her first week of kindergarten was really fun and she really likes it. Her teacher, Mrs. Johnson, is really nice! She is excited every day to go.
