I can't believe we put our daughter on a real school bus this morning (at 7:30 a.m....ugggg) and waved as the bus disappeared from sight. I can't speak for Dom, but I was certainly trying my hardest to hold back tears as our little girl was on her way to Kindergarten.
Of course Dom, Kai, and I followed the bus to her school in order to greet her just outside her new classroom. The halls were filled with parents all excitedly waiting to get a picture of their child's first day. Maya bravely hung her bag on the hook, put her extra pair of gym shoes in her cubby, and entered her classroom. Fortunately, her best friend from preschool and a neighbor girl are in her class. She sat in her seat and began to color a picture as I waved goodbye and walked out of the classroom.
At 11:10, Kai, my dad, and I waited outside of our house for the bus to drop Maya off. Maya excitedly pranced off the bus and could barely wait to tell us about her day. Her first words were "Mommy, I love school...I want to go back right now". Those are the exact words I was hoping to hear. Congrats Maya, on being so brave on your first day of school.
