Thing 2 started Kindergarten today. Cannot believe how quickly this day came. Where is the baby I bounced around the house with? Took to mom and tot gym? Who helped me choose veggies at the farmer’s market? Who gave her sister a real run for the money for the title of best back seat driver?
Now, except for two snoring dogs and the whir of the dryer, I sit here and type in silence.
Thing 2 was ever so excited to go. She sprung out of bed and had her backpack on before she even sat down to breakfast. She was very eager to go to the bus stop. I stuffed my pockets with Kleenex, put on some dark sunglasses and hoped for the best.
I’m sure Thing 1 had plenty of advice for her.
The bus was early and she popped right on, never looking back
She sat in the front seat, looking quite proud of herself before they pulled away.
I find myself looking at the clock, wondering what she’s doing. Did she make some new friends? Does she like her teacher? Will she be happy to return tomorrow?
Ok enough. Thing 2 will be just fine and so will I. I’ve got 3 ‘unencumbered’ hours slipping away and some corework to do.
Here’s to new beginnings!
