She made it!!! The day is FINALLY here!
7:00 am : I hear movement in Avery's room
7:27 am: Avery comes into my bedroom fully dressed with her school bag on.
( keep in mind, school doesn't start until 1:00 this afternoon)
8:15 am: I finally roll out of bed and walk in to see Avery just sitting on the couch with her bag still on
8:45 am: Brian rolls out of bed and the first thing that is said is, "Daddy, I'm going to kindergarten today!"
8:55 am: I take Kaden to school and Avery wants to come
9:05 am: "Mom, can we go check out my classroom again?"
9:06 am: We see her classroom. It's all ready to go. Avery goes in and finds her desk and giggles when I show her where her backpack will go. Then she says, "I can't wait to come to kindergarten today!!"
11:30 am: (mom) "OK Avery, we only have 5 more minutes till we have to go out to the bus."
(avery) "How long is 5 minutes?"
(mom) "Count to 60, five times
(avery) "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, .........................etc. etc. etc)
12:39 pm: Avery is jumping up and down as she sees the bus. She gets on, waves good bye and has the biggest smile on her face. She is one excited little girl. It is so fun to live that excitement through your kids eyes. It makes the little things in life become really big things. It's these type of moments that are my favorite.
4:15 pm: Avery and Kaden get off the bus. It is at this point that I realize how grown up she's gotten.
She runs off the bus into my arms and says, "Mommmmmyyyyyyy!!!" (yes... it made my day)
The day was pretty great. Avery didn't want to even talk to me about the day. She was too excited I think to pin point what exactly she liked the best. I know she loved it though. When I put her to bed tonight she said to me, "We've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow huh mom? Because I have schoooool tomorrow!! It is so much fun!"
Oh I love this little girl.
She didn't want a backpack... she wanted one that looked like a purse.
We're sad she isn't on the same track as Sam and Carter, but these two cuties (Dax and Josh) will be her new buddies.
After a perfect first day of school. Kaden told me she wouldn't stop hugging him on the bus.
