Kira starts Kindergarten

On September 1st Kira had her first day of Kindergarten. Thank goodness my dad and Patti were here to help me or I don't know how I would have managed with an 11 day old baby as well! She has been so excited to start school and I have been so excited for her so why is it that we cry when they start school? My husband just doesn't get it. I asked to take her the first day of school and as we were driving up to the school I starting tearing up. Kira was in the back talking non-stop about how excited she was and then asked me, "Mommy how come your sad?" I had to pull it together so I wouldn't start blubbering and told her how excited I was for her. Now that I've adjusted I have to say it's nice to have the morning with only two kids since I'm still adjusting to having a new baby! I was planning to take Kira to school for the first few days but the second day she begged me to start talking the bus, how could I say no? She absolutely loves school and loves the bus, where has the last 5 years gone, how do I already have a child in school? Here are some pictures of her first day and her first bus ride.
