I'm so proud of my sweet girl. Two days in a row now, she has faced her biggest fear. Being with strangers....... I put her on the bus with her brother, sister and cousin this morning. She ran out to meet the bus and everything. But, once it was time to actually step on there, she wasn't so sure. She wanted me to go with her. Don't those sad little faces just break your heart? It didn't take long to talk her into getting on so I kind of ushered her up the steps before she could change her mind.
It makes me kind of sad because I feel like I pushed her into it all at once. I know it needs to be done but she is still my baby. I don't remember the other ones being so babylike when they started school even though they were the same age. Maybe it's just because she is my last.
Her teacher said she did well yesterday but she had a problem staying in her seat. Hey, I've already warned her that she's a handful. That's why she's in school this year. She needs practice before going to K. She's smart. She doesn't need to educational part, she needs the learning how to control herself part!
So, we've passed another milestone today. I've had a stressful week with these milestones. I've been dreading this week for a while now. I'm relieved that it's going better than I thought it would but I can't wait for the routine to actually feel normal. I just feel kind of out of sorts still.

So glad it's getting better for you and for Gracie - hey, I'm almost 40 and I still have problems staying in my seat? Who cares... she'll get it all down eventually! LOL
It's great to hear that your little one is getting better at getting on the bus. Lane really wants to go too. One more year, maybe two, and then he can go. At least your little one has a big sister and brother to help her out.
