Thursday Sept 11th 2008 was a very sad day. It would normally be reserved to remember the men women and children that died at the twin towers in NYC but today there was another reason why the sadness was upon us. That day was the first time Macy got on a school bus and went away for the first time. She was so excited

She looked so cute on her first day and I don’t think she could stand waiting for the bus any longer when it appeared down the road. She lined up in front and was busting at the seams to get on. She got on with her big sister and sat in the fifth row from the front on the right side. She was waving with the biggest smile.

It was what she had been looking forward to since Cali started going to school. It was finally here - the day she got to ride the bus!

She made some pictures and got a story read and almost had a time out but as she put it - not really - HAHAHA

Macy waved good bye as the bus drove away and of all the things that affected me most it was the school bus taking her away to make her different when she returned.

I am not speaking of a dramatic change - just an overall. It has to be she spent a whole day in a place that she will build as her own world - one that Mom and Dad cannot truly ever really know.

It is the most exciting feeling to watch your little ones thoroughly enjoy a new experience.
