Ava's First Day of Kindergarten!
Ava woke up and looked at me with her big brown eyes and asked..."is today the day I get to ride the bus to school?" She beamed when I said yes. Her countdown finally complete! Good nights sleep. Lunch made. Bag packed. Favorite dress from Grammy on. Favorite shoes from Grandma - check. Breakfast eaten. Hair brushed. Eager kindergartner - check. Hugs for sisters. And for Mom, Dad & Grandma too. Ready to take on her first day of kindergarten. I have never seen a little girl more eager to hurry down to the bus stop and determined to climb bus steps. I barely got that hug! I have always envisioned her first day of school to be harmonious - taking our time eating breakfast together, strolling leisurely down to the bus stop - lots of room for photo ops. Harmonious? 3 under the age of 6...it was more of a pleasant frenzy...and went by faster than I would have liked! I am not going to pretend and say I wasn't ...
