This morning Lucy boarded the bus to 4K! She was all smiles, and excited to go. I had a bit of a breakdown once I saw her little self get on that bus. She was so bitty I couldn't even see her to wave goodbye to her in the window!
While Maggie is more confident and always ready to take on new adventures, Lucy is a bit more cautious and (surprise!) quiet in new situations and unfamiliar surroundings. Just last week, we stopped at school to fill out some paperwork, only to learn the teacher that Lucy had met during Open House would not, in fact, be her teacher- as they were interviewing for an additional teacher that afternoon (two days before the class arrived... poor, poor teacher....) As a mom, this tore me up inside, but I had to put on my "happy and excited" face for Lucy- she is so, so sensitive and I didn't want her to see me stressing about the situation. But... it all seemed to go well today! She hopped off the bus, but wouldn't tell me ANYTHING about her day- until we saw Gramma and Papa because "she didn't want to tell the same stuff five times." Um, OK.
Traditionally, our "first day of school" dinners are kind of a big deal. There's a "kid-chosen-and-approved" meal, presents, and normally Gramma and Papa are invited to hear all about the big day. Tonight, I have a meeting to attend at Maggie's school, so Lucy got a special "first day of school" lunch instead. She got to choose the restaurant ("Burger Kingdom with the playground!") and there were still presents, of course!
Her sisters were just as excited as she was for the school bus to arrive!
Waiting for the bus...
My brave, brave girl!
All smiles at Burger Kingdom!
