Waiting for the bus

Since Titus started kindergarten I have been dreaming of the day a magical orange bus would come and whisk the kids away to school. It is finally here! It came. It is magic. I asked the kids how it went and Maggie said, "It was kind of stinky." There really is are two sides to every coin.

They started school yesterday and all seems to be going well. I was impressed with how cool and confident they were. I was a bit of a wreck on their behalf. I kept checking my messages to see if the school had called. They hadn't.

The school bus certainly is magical and stinky. Your kids are troopers - of course they transitioned easily:)!

Miya was a little envious that your kids got to ride the school bus...every kids dream. Glad they are enjoying school and that the school didn't need to call and let you know your kids were speaking to the principal in the office.

I absolutely love this picture. I can smell the morning rain of a Washington day. First days of school are magical - for Moms and children. It must be special to have your kids going to school there where you grew up. Or maybe it's just more scary! Hope you have lots more days without calls from school :)
