first week of school completed

We have finished our first full week of school. It was exciting, scary, and exhausting but we made it! Now that we are in full swing and love school we can talk about how crazy this first few days were. It took Kyla 4 days before she stepped off the school bus and stated "I had a GREAT day!" I had been anxiously awaiting some positive feedback from her and knew it would come in time. Lucky for us it only took a few days. I love Kyla's school and her teacher but would have to say that they did not adequately prepare us and the kids for the first day. There was no one waiting to show the kids were to go when they got off the bus, and the cafeteria was overwhelming and overstimulating but somehow they all survived. I ended up putting Kyla on the bus in the am and then rushing to the school each day to lead her and a handful of other kids to their classroom. By Thursday she was ready to handle it herself with a little help from her new friend Billy. (I think she is quite smitten but that will be an entirely different post I'm sure.) We are excited for the school year and can't wait to see what challenges and adventures it has in store for us!
