That is what Riley informed me as we were waiting for the bus on the First Day of School. Not that she is counting or anything!! LOL As usual I was the weepy one, bravely trying to hide the tears, while she was hopping from foot to foot waiting on the bus. She has always been the brave one when starting anything new, In pre-school, she flew across the street to get into the building and never even looked back at me. In first grade, she told me not to cry that she would be home after 3..and now today again she justs blasts outside, 25 minutes early for the bus because she told me that waiting for the bus is the best part..and I am reminded of just this past May when she refused to ride the bus and the bus was stupid and for babies! My how things change....so now I am sitting here, can't help but wonder as I look at the clock what she is doing now .. I know not healthy,lol, and if you ask me in a week how I feel I will probably be the one out at the bus stop at the crack of dawn, but for today I am feeling mushy and nostalgic, I think that I will pull out the pictures and do a little scrapbooking of all the "first days" that is if I can see through the tears.....
Oh and wish me luck tomorrow when I tell Riley that she has to wear something other than the orange shirt...which she has worn almost daily since I bought it for her..that is a conversation I am dreading...........
Wow.. second grade... I started my first day with my Kindergarteners (is that a word) and I am sure they are home running around while I sit here almost falling asleep typing..
Riley looks adorable. I remember her pictures from Kindergarten just like it was yesterday!

Riley is a brave little girl -- I'm proud of her! Sorry it's not easy for you -- but now you have more time to stamp :)
Good luck with the shirt talk!

Wish I could find a backpack big enough to cover MY a$$. LOL
I think that orange shirt is fabulous and if I owned it (and if I looked good in orange, which I don't but that's a whole 'nother story) I would want to wear it every day, too.
