September 1st 2010 was Ana's first day of school. We have been anticipating this day since she turned 5 and now its finally here!! Ana woke up with a smile on her face and was ready to head out the door but she had to wait until after lunch and it was the longest morning of her life!
Finally the time came and she rushed to put on her school clothes and get out the door.
Jethro came home for lunch to join us and see her off on her first day.
She was so excited I didn't cry like I thought I would. To see her standing in line with a big grin on her face made me so happy and excited for her!!
I am so proud of her she wasn't scared at all! As I watched her walk away and was snapping pictures I wanted so bad to follow her and just be with her all day but I knew I had to let her go!
On our way home Penina fell asleep and Jethro stayed and we had a quiet lunch together reminiscing about when Ana was a baby and how much she's grown. As soon as Jethro got up to leave for work I realized how quiet the house will be and started to cry because I didn't have Ana home. I know I will come to enjoy "MY" time while Ana's at school and Penina's down for a nap and soon the new baby will arrive but I couldn't help but miss her so much and wonder how she was doing at school.
As soon as school time was over I was out the door to pick up Ana and anxious to hear about her day. We got in the car and I could see she was sad and was fighting back tears. My heart broke, a million thoughts went through my head of who could have hurt her and what must have happened. I finally got it out of her that she was sad because she wanted to ride the bus home. She thought that she was gonna get the "full" school experience I guess. After I explained to her why kids have to ride the bus and bought her a few treats at the store she was much happier and excited to tell me about her day.

I felt exactly the words you wrote. I saw Kalena so happy and anxious to get to her class that I fought back a couple of tears, but as soon as I got in the car to head to the mall without her and her help, I began to cry a little. I am so excited for her and can't wait to hear what she has to say when she gets home. I can't believe how time has flown by with these to girls.
I started to cry as I read your blog! It's always hard to leave them! I always cried as soon as I got in the car after seeing my girls off to the class room! I can't believe Ana's a school girl now! What a sweetie!
I know I know I know! She sure looked darling.
