Day 3…Day of Tears:(

Before the bus breakdown….


This morning was rough! Aliyana did not want to get out of bed this morning because she didn't want to get on the bus! We were already running a little behind schedule and at this point, I started to feel a little anxiety. My little girl was in tears and I didn't know what to do. Do I make her get on the bus because she has to learn how or do I just take her to school and figure out the rest later? Her big worry was getting from the bus to her classroom. Timothy is a K-12th grade school and the bus situation is quite intimidating for a little Kindergartener to be honest. I decided to take her to school and talk to the teacher about it and get some tips from her. I am so thankful that Jud and I have the opportunity to send Aliyana to a Christian school. Throughout the year, I know that I will repeat myself many times because I really am overwhelmed by the fact that we are blessed with this school. Anyways, Aliyana's teacher was incredibly understanding and told me that she would personally take Aliyana outside during school and practice where she would go when she gets off the bus in order to get to her classroom in the mornings! We both agreed that she needed to get back on the bus Monday. What a wonderful teacher she is! When I left, Aliyana was in tears still which caused Canyon to start sobbing…rough morning!

When I picked Ali up from school, she was all smiles:) She really does love school and after talking to her, she seems more comfortable with the game plan for Monday! I am thankful for that because I was quite emotional walking away from her this morning. I know that this is all so normal but I don't think a mom could ever prepare themselves for these kinds of things!

ps…Stay tuned for Day #4…JK! I promise I am done now with journaling about every day of Kindergarten:) I just wanted to capture the first week!
