First Day of School

Today we are back to school and we were having a great morning, not rushing. I took pictures and Bai didn't have to wolf down her breakfast. We had plenty of time, so I thought. The bus driver had called me and told me pick up time was at 7:44. We were all ready at 7:30, but were killing time waiting to go out and wait for the bus. I figured we would go out about 7:39. Low and behold, the bus rolls up to the house at about 7:33. Bailee sees it and yells, There's the bus! I scream Aaah! Run! Go, GO! We open the door and the garage door is closed and of course seems like it is going up so slowly. She crawls underneath an opening and is running up the driveway. I have her backpack running behind her. The bus is already leaving. It has to stop up the street two houses up, so we are now running up the street to catch the bus. We must have left the door open because Dooder (our dog) is running up the street with us. We catch the bus and the bus driver closed the door as Bailee is standing right there. I know she had to of seen us running out up our driveway and up the street. It was probably a good thing that Dooder was out barking and running in front of the bus and jumping on some parents or she might have taken off again! Anyway, she opened the door and let Bailee on. I feel bad because I didn't get to send Bailee off on the first day with our ritual of a hug, kiss, Have a great day. I love you. See you later alligator! After awhile crocodile. And I blow a kiss and wave as the bus drives away. Boo Hoo for me. I want to do that as long as I can before she thinks it is not cool to have your Mom out there anymore. I can't believe she is in second grade now! Crazy. Hopefully, we will have a less crazy bus experience tomorrow!
