She's Off!!!

Our little kindergartener (with her High School Musical backpack she picked out)!

So the morning went just fine! Meggan was so excited that she couldn't even eat all her breakfast. She told me her "belly was hurting" ... but then a minute later she told me that it was because she was just too excited! I'm really glad that she was though - if she would have started crying or telling me she didn't want to go, I know I wouldn't have been able to hold it together!

It helps to have "distractions" too. Katie and Cami were down here talking to her while we were outside waiting for the bus to come. Dawn even asked her boss to let her go in to work late so that she could see Meggan get on the bus for the first time - her and Lucas were a great distraction for Meggan (and her mommy) as well! That was so sweet and thoughtful of you, Dawn - THANKS for being there for this special day!

Katie, Meggan & Cami (look at those blonde beauties - YIKES)!

Just Meggan & Cami this time!

And then there's Jordan, who was much more interested in playing in Daddy's car (and that "cheese" again)!

I did have to hold back a couple tears right after she left, but it went pretty well actually! It does seem like it just happens so quick ... all of a sudden the bus is pulling away down the street and they're gone! I'm so excited for her to tell me about her day this afternoon!!! :)

And they're off!

Wow, she's officially a kindergartener! Check that one off the list of MANY things that we'll have to make it through in her lifetime...
