I just put my daughter on her first ever school bus. →[More:]
Today was her first day of kindergarten. She's in the afternoon class and the bus picks up around 11. I work a long way from her school but drove the 90 minute round trip to her babysitter's house to take pictures! (But the pictures won't be on flickr till tomorrow at the earliest.)

She did really well. It was a good thing her little friend Annelise was with her; otherwise I think she would have clung and cried. As it was she climbed right on (leading the way for A.) and grabbed a window seat! The kids already on the bus looked so nervous; it was hilarious.

I've never been the oh-noes-my-baby's-growing-up type, but it was really sweet to see her climb on that bus like a big girl. I'm so glad I'm the one picking her up today so I can get the first-hand fresh-from-the-presses scoop on her first day! In yer face, mom!
