When I lived in Chicago, I lived close enough to walk to my elementary school (as well as many other things).
Imagine my shock after moving to IN where I could walk to NOTHING. Bus to school, no playgrounds nearby, no pools nearby, etc. I was most unhappy with my parents!
However, I did survive (never missed my bus), though I still wish Indy was more walkable/bikeable even 28yrs after moving here!

I'm glad she had a good day, and you made it through!! :)
I was really nervous my first day of junior high, and I hated switching classes. I was so shy when I was in school. I'm so glad it's all over!! :)

My kid starts school next week and she is the same age as your sis. She's nervous too - new school, bus, changing classes, etc. I'll report to her that the Vacuum sis did great!

I'm a worrier, just like you, Debbie....and I come from a long line of worriers. My mom (a bazillion years ago) embroidered a sign for me that hung by the back door..."Today is the tomorrow that worried you yesterday, and all is well". My mom also said when my oldest was born, "You'll never go through another day without worrying about him and saying a little prayer for him"...you know she was absolutely right!!!
I'm so glad everything went so well, and I'm sure it'll continue.

My neighbor friend, Tyler had to go back to school today! I gave him a kiss before he went and wanted to stay with him at the bus stop but Momma said we'd be late for daycare! Bummer! There were at least 6 kids calling my name!

Yay! {claps} She had a great day, that's awesome! Going to a new school is always nerve-wracking for both student & parent. I'm glad those days are over for me!!
Thanks for giving us an update!
