Another School Year Begins



4th Grade and 1st Grade

We survived this morning.  Believe me, I was holding my breath.  I moved in 3rd and 6th grade, and I felt like I was right back there this morning.  I had a nervous stomach for the girls.

Laney was fine, no worries.  She woke up in a great mood, agreeable, excited, and jumped right on the bus.  Macie, on the other hand, was quiet, avoided all eye contact, and wouldn't eat breakfast.  I was feeling her pain.  Thankfully the bus stop was full of kids, Macie being one of the oldest, so there was no chance she was going to meltdown.

After school was just the opposite.  Macie came off the bus full of smiles and stories.  Laney said she didn't do anything or talk to anyone.  Oh well, they both say they will go back tomorrow...good thing.

 

I look at them and wonder where the time went.  Macie is 2 quick years away from dreaded middle school.  And when we last lived in Bloomington, Laney wasn't yet 2 years old.  Don't get me wrong, I am ready for summer to be over and a little normalcy in our schedule, I am just not ready for my babies to get so old.
