It could not have gone better. It was very hectic and rushed but it worked out great and everyone was sooooo happy. I got the girls up at 7:20. We rushed through dressing and I force feed them. We loaded up in the car at 7:50 to head to the bus stop. We will usually walk but I wanted to follow the bus today so we went in the car. The bus stop is 2 blocks away. Another little boy is at her stop too. He is starting kindergarden as well but at the other school. Av right away started playing with him and being silly like she had known him forever. We waited about 10 minutes for the bus. She was very excited. When it came we met the bus driver (Miss T) and she sat Av in the front row with another little girl. Off the bus went. We lost it bc I had to get both kids in their seats again before we could leave. I did manage to find it. We drove all over the neighborhoods around us. I think her bus is the misfit bus. hehehe It's all the students in our area going to the non-reside schools. At one point the bus was stopped at railroad tracks and I could see Av and her little friend stand up and look out and laugh together. That made me feel a ton better. At 8:45 we were still following (w 3 other cars -I'm not the only crazy mom) and John was at Av's school waiting for us. He was going to wait in the car with C and E while I walked Av in. At that point I aborted the following the bus mission. Decided it was silly to make C late for her first day of school when J was at Av's school and could meet her and walk her in. Plus I was dreading walking her in bc I didn't think I could separate myself from Av again wo losing it. So off to C's school (Av's old school so a new school to her as well) we went. She bounced in that school as happy as can be. Found her cubbie which she was super excited to have finally and put her empty backpack in it. Right into her room she went. She started playing the minute we got there and didn't flinch at all when it was time for E and I to leave. As soon as I walked out the door I was on my phone to J trying to see how they were doing. He didn't answer so I had to wait. When he finally called he was chocked up with pride. She had done so well. Off the bus she went and told the person directing who she was and what her teacher's name was. They understood her and told her where to go. She didn't need J's help at all. She was not expecting to see J and was very excited when she did. She found her locker and her cubbie all by herself. Her little bus friends yelled "bye Avery" when she saw her in the hallway. Av picked a table in her classroom and that's where J left her. She was completely fine. We will see how she gets off the bus this afternoon. I CAN'T wait to see her.
