Well, we are officially a part of the public school
system! Evelyn had her first day last Thursday.
She was a little nervous before we left but was fine
once we got into her classroom. Actually, the day
before she had a sort of mini tantrum because I
wouldn't let her ride the bus on her first day.
(independent little stinker) There were a couple
of tears but it wasn't when you might have thought.
The tears actually sprang as I was picking her up
from school. I guess it finally sank in then.
I have to say that having a baby grow up
is a strenuous hardship on a mom! This is so
cliche but I'm going to say it anyway, it wasn't
that long ago that this little girl was in diapers!
Now she's a big girl that would really like to ride
the bus to school. Unfortunately for her, she has
a really uptight mom. It's a strange phenomenon
for me....all of the sudden I feel like I'm a grown-up.
More responsible, if you will. The weirdest part is
that I think I'm ok with it.
Oh just a side note...for all you moms that haven't
had the joy of sending a little one to school yet.
Don't worry too much about buying the most fabulous,
trendy clothes for them because chances are they'll just
want to wear the stuff you got on sale at Wal-mart.
