First Day

Today was our first day of school. Grant entered 2nd Grade and Marah started full-day kindergarten. I was a bit nervous not knowing how Marah would do getting on the bus - but she got on without any tears - (mommy handled that area).

I spent most of the day wondering how they both did - especially Marah. When I meet them at the bus stop after school this is what their comments were:

Grant: I love second grade - I did not even get in trouble!
Mom, were you worried about Marah all day - I could tell in your eyes when we pulled away.

Marah: You were crying?!!
Grant did not keep his butt in the bus seat (a rule we went over last night)
When I asked what her favorite part of the day was: She said the only thing I remember was art class and I liked it!

Marah is looking forward to tomorrow and Grant is sad that his one friend did not return this year. Daddy and Mommy can't believe we already have homework!
