Back to School

 My firstborn is off to school.  What a day.  I sniffed all my tears away last night and tossed and turned unable to sleep, although it could have been due to the 2 hour afternoon nap, but today I was brave and so was Jara.  My little kindergartner.  I have a school child.  She took to school like a duck to water.  Thank goodness because I'm pretty sure if she would have had a melt-down I would have carried her off of that playground, moved to the hills, set up my yurt and commenced home-schooling.   Truth be told, I think Jed was keeping his eye on me more than Jara, she isn't as shifty.  However, a few hugs goodbye and that was that, she was too busy playing with friends to care that she was growing up and entering the dawn of a new age.  On the way home she even asked if she could drive "because she is big now."  No driving. Ever.  Kindergarten acceptance was bad enough I can't even think what 16 will do to me.

The best picture I could get of her in the sun.

Yay for school!  Tomorrow we brave the bus and Jack's preschool.  duhnduhnduhnnnn
