THE BUS!

Okay, I feel like today was the first day I really " let go" of my baby girl. She started riding the school bus today for the first time. I have ALWAYS taken her to school and been right there in the pick up line at the end of the day, but today was different! To top it all off as we were walking to the bus with the other neighborhood kids... I said wait wait I need a hug... she didnt even turn around to say bye... she was just GONE! There I was on the curb just wanting to ball my eyes out partly because I no longer was in control of her transportation but mostly because she didnt even say bye. She has been SO excited about riding the bus. We literally live in the neighborhood across from the school so she gets picked up at 7:30 and she is home by 3:30. Also , my neighbors two kids ride the bus with her so she was super excited about that. The bus thing just really seems to easy especially with the boys schedules and not to mention the gas it burns sitting in the line for 30 mins or longer to pick her up!!! Oh yeah did I even mention that before! There are 9 first grades and no telling how many more upper grade levels since this year she gets out with allllllll the other kids! So, I decided that since the bus picks her up and drops her off right in front of my house... let me say that again... right in front of my house.... I couldnt resist her begging! So, today I let my only little girl ride that big ole yellow bus!
