First Day of School

It was the first day of school today for three out of the four members of our family. Derek started today with his new group of freshmen, I started with my 7th graders, and Miss Tessa had her first day of 4K today! I was soooo nervous thinking of my little munchkin getting on that school bus. We went to visit the school buses at an open house last night and she wanted nothing to do with them. Nolan was all about it and so mad that we weren't going to actually get on one, but Miss Tessa just wanted to leave the bus open house and go home. The poor girl is like her mommy...loves being home where we feel comfortable. Anything out of the ordinary scares us a little :)

So needless to say I was a little nervous today. Okay, so I was a lotta nervous today. She doesn't get picked up until 11:30 so shortly after that I called our "God-send" Stephie (the kids daycare provider). She took tons of pictures and spent about five minutes describing every move that happened and every little detail of the bus arriving and Tessa getting on. Tessa loved it. Of course I probably ended up being more nervous than her. My baby is growing up. I'm so proud of her that she did so well. Hopefully day #2 goes just as well but this time she'll get picked up from Grandma's. I'll be calling you at 11:31 tomorrow mom...hope the report is the same as Stephie's was today...that Tessa got onto the bus full of excitement.

Below are a few pics of Tessa's first day of 4K. The first one is at home because on the first day of school everyone needs a photo of their child on the front step, right?!? The rest of the pics below that are from Stephie's. Tessa has a friend from daycare, Ryan, who goes to school with her. They are cute little buddies. Good job today Tessaroo.

Here we go Ryan. Man that bus is big compared to us. The bus is about the same size as our gigantic backpacks!

Here we go on the bus. These steps are huge too, like the bus and our backpacks! Save a spot for me Ryan!

Thanks for saving me a spot Ryan!

Stephie, we are home! School was sooooo much fun!

Tessa's first picture from 4K. There will be many more I'm sure but I had to at least take a picture of the first one:)
