Well she did it! Hadleigh started Kindergarten this past Monday and did awesome. It was a bit hard for mommy the first day, but now that she knows Hadleigh is enjoying herself she's okay.We first had to master bedtime. We're a family of night owls and rarely get to bed before 10:30 or 11:00. The bus arrives at 7:30 so that means we have to get up TOO early (Hadleigh and mommy usually sleep until 8 or 9). Hadleigh also had to attempt a healthy breakfast (she's not much on food first thing). She, again was great, and filled up on Fruit Loops (milk on the side) and a Peanut Butter sandwhich (gotta get that protein).
On the way to school, daddy drove the wrong way down the street. The "unwritten" rule that the Kindergarten parents haven't yet learned got the best of him. At school, all the parents and kids found their teachers and lined up to wait for the bell to ring. There were tears and excitement all around, but not from Hadleigh. She nervously stretched and yawned and shivered and wouldn't say much of anything to anyone. She swore she wasn't a bit nervous. 
Mommy and daddy snuck into school to peek in on the class. At first glance all 3 girls (Ryleigh, Hadleigh and Logan) were all chewing their nails. It was dead silent too...bet that won't happen again this year.

It was dead silent too...bet that won't happen again this year. Mommy picked her up at 11:20 and she was full of stories about how her day went. She had a blast and EVEN got chocolate milk!
On day #2 we tried the bus route which we hope will be our norm (if we can get up that is). Hadleigh thought the bus was cool and made mom a bit nervous when she got off the bus, saying "they got me all mixed up. my bus number says 6 but I'm really a 12." They put her on the wrong bus home but luckily figured it out before they had left the school. Whew!
Waiting (not so nervous today)
You can see the 'bounce' in her step.
She even remembered to stop and look back for mommy's photo opp (what a good girl).
And there she goes...on the BIG bus!

Hadleigh will go 1/2 days with no lunch for the next two weeks, then she'll get to stay a couple hours longer and have school lunch for the next two weeks. On week five she'll be a full time student for a very long time. Glad she's allowed to ease into it. We're so proud of her!

Wow, Hadleigh wears glasses just like me. That's awesome. I hope she has fun at school, and enjoys the days without homework while they last, LOL.
Katie, don't worry about missing her or anything. I just started college and mom is missing me like crazy too. I think that after nine months of pregnancy and stuff you moms are entitled to it, LOL.
