This happened over a month ago but better late than never.
First day of school was August 8, 2012
Chase
Kindergarten
Teacher: Mrs. McCabe
Maeley
1st grade
Teacher: Mrs. Phillips
Maeley was thrilled to be going back to school. Chase was excited one moment and nervous the next. He was on an emotional roller coaster that week. I can't blame him though. The kids and I had just moved the Saturday before and we were without Derek. It was hard for all of us.
Here Chase is standing in line for his class before school started. That bag was completely filled plus a bag behind that. The school supply list was border line ridiculous.
Maeley waiting to go to her class. It was hot at 8am!
Chase ready to begin his school day.
Here comes the bus after school.
I wanted to document how Chase felt about riding the bus. Maeley told me when she got on the bus Chase was crying for me. He didn't stop until he got home. I think he had been holding all his emotions in all day. When he got on the bus and Maeley wasn't there he couldn't hold it in any longer. Chase hated the bus the first couple weeks. Thankfully he enjoys it now.
Maeley was all smiles. She had a great first day.
Zoe came with me to the school in the morning. When we were leaving she started crying because she didn't get to say goodbye to Maeley. She sure missed Maeley and Chase. Actually even now she tells me everyday after the bus picks them up that she misses them already. Its so sweet.
