A DAY IN THE LIFE...........: Alyvia goes to Kindergarten

Well, my little girl is growing up.....Alyvia started Kindergarten. I never knew this time would come so quickly. I can't believe that she is already growing up on me and going to school. But I know it will mean so much opportunity for her. She is so active and social that I can't wait to see her get to have so much fun learning and doing activities.

She was so excited and ready to go to school. Me, not so much. But she is so independent and excited I can't not be happy for her. A few days before school she had open house. She got to take her supplies in, meet her teacher and see the classroom.
She was ready to go to school the first day. Up early, ready to go. The funny thing was she kept saying "Why do we get up for school in the middle of the night? It's still the middle of the night mom!" I told her it was just foggy out, and early morning. "Ok, but I still think it is night out" she said. She was so ready to go she didn't really even want to take time to eat breakfast. We were out waiting for the bus early and she kept looking down the road waiting, waiting. Asher was excited too. He had to have his backpack on and was waiting to see the bus. He loves busses. When the bus pulled up they were both jumping up and down excited. When we got to the bus she got kinda confused because they had the stick thing come out and it was different than the old busses. She didn't know it was there and almost walked into it not seeing it. She looked at me and I told her to walk around it and get on the bus. It was funny because she wasn't sure what to do so she just looked at me. So I walked around it with her and she got on the bus and said "Bye Mom, I'm going to school". What a big girl.
She had lots of fun her first day and was so excited when she got off the bus to tell me about it. She liked recess a lot, made new friends, and was very excited about getting to go to art, music, and library. They do a different one each day, and she was most excited about art class.
Asher and I really miss her when she is at school, but she comes home so excited. I am trying to get used to it and he is getting a little better at playing by himself. After the first week of her riding the bus I decided to take her in the mornings and let her ride home. It is working out a lot better because she is on the bus for a long route even though we live really close to the school. If I take her she gets to sleep in almost an hour longer. It is working out really good that way, so that is great. She likes to ride the bus home. Some days Shalyn has been riding the bus and Alyvia really likes that.
I guess my big girl is ready for school.
