My gal started kindergarten. Full-day Kindergarten.
I was in serious denial through August. Then I was just down right sad the day before she started. Like, really sad. The actual day was much too chaotic to wallow. First, she was assigned to the wrong bus route, but handled it like a champ. I was following behind in my own car until Hayden just about wet her pants. We had to pull over and lost track then didn't know where she was for a while. Yikes!! The principal was on it and figured out what route she should be on, so, problem solved. Then Justin wanted to pick her up that afternoon only to call twenty minutes later when the driver wouldn't let her go to him. You see, you have to have photo ID to get a kindergartner off the bus. He didn't have any. Nor had I even put him on the list of people who were allowed to pick her up. **New Student Parent Alert** Luckily this kid has confidence to spare and kept teasing me all weekend about letting her go on the wrong bus.

Still not used to this. I don't like that so many of her memories now will be when she's not with us. And I hate the crazy rush when she gets home to squeeze in all we missed out on during the day. Trying to be more positive about this... :)
...because I am fairly certain she will rock it.

Nooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! She can't be THAT old already!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I think the same thing every time I think about you girls!
What a beautiful kindergartener you have! I'll bet she loves these pictures. I do. You're awesome.
I love these pictures. She is such a cute little kindergartener.
The first one is the hardest to let go. By the time you send number four you start doing the happy dance at enrollment. However. I'm thinking it will be just as hard to send my last as it was to send the first. I've still got three years until kindergarten and it's already starting to weigh heavy. She's a true beauty by the way!
Is that school real? It's like out of a movie. What a beautiful building. And she is so adorable. Her hair and that outfit! Love it. I bet full day is super hard. I'm barely easing into Annie's two day a week preschool! Did you get Justin on that list? ;)
WOW-- full day! I know I am not ready for that yet!
So stinkin cute!
Man, she's gotta be the best dressed girl in kindergarten. She's a doll! Hope her 2nd bus experience went better.
What a heart-wrenching time... Hugs to you, mama. You have to be just about as brave as those little ones to do this. Hang in there!
What?!! Kindergarten....no.....can't believe it! She is SO darling--absolutely adorable. Does she let you do her hair so gorgeous like that all the time? She's a beautiful little lamb--even when she rocks it! PS--Hayden's hair cut is to die for!
Ashley, can you come over and do my hair in the morning :) ? She is a cutie and sure can strike a pose for you. Best of luck with everything kindergarten!!!
Dang! I remember holding her when she was a brand new baby on Sundays! That cutie will definitely ROCK anything she puts her mind to:)
She is so cute! That is crazy that she is your big girl kindergartener now. :)
Cole asked who these girls are...he thinks they are very pretty :) You have a gorgeous fam!
I am in kindergarten denial. Cole is supposed to start next year. I'm not sure I'm going to let him :)
