Our oldest child joined the ranks of the publicly educated this week. She even rode the bus to school. I will now narrate her thoughts during her arrival back to the house on Thursday.
"I may seem small compared to the vehicle on which I traveled, but I will soon have the power to destroy objects many times that size with a single, focused thought."
"Hello, youngest sister. I'm back from a day of intellectual growth and socialization. I'm sorry you had to deal with Lucy all by yourself, but I think my absence will ultimately lead to a closer bond between the two of you."
"Hello, Lucy. I'm sorry you had to deal with that screaming baby all by yourself today. Don't worry. I'm home now and you and I can immediately start giggling about the cute boys in my class.
Most of them look and smell like hemorrhoids."
"The square of the hypotenuse of any right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two remaining sides."

Congrats to Sam! I know you already know this, but I must say your kids are adorable.
She is so cute, Bec. Love it. And looks SOOO tiny next to that bus. I understand completely the tears now.
Did you cry when the bus pulled away?

I got the crying out the night before. We have really really nice neighbors that made their son ride the bus even though he's a car-rider, just so he could sit with Sam and show her the ropes.
I can't beleive you have a child in school. That makes me feel old. I'm sure I will cry too. And YES we will for SURE get our gang of girls together when we get there! My girls are in need of a seriouse play date, all of their friends moved away:(
