Keira's first full day!

Day 2 - the first full day of school. I woke Keira up this morning and despite still being tired, she was generally very good about getting up and getting ready for school. We had our morning breakfast in the car and decided to try the carpool dropoff today. Keira was very nervous about the dropoff but I knew if I waited too long to get her to try it, it would be even harder for her. This morning, we hit very little traffic and were fourth in the carpool dropoff line. The bell rang and a nice 6th grade boy opened Keira's door. Then the tears began. When discussing carpool and yesterday, it was the older girls helping the younger kids to their classes so this threw an already Keira off. Luckily, the assistant principal that Keira had met before was nearby and stepped in. I was holding up the long carpool line so I had to hope back in the car and drive off. I knew I wouldn't be able to turn around in time to see if Keira had calmed done so I headed into work feeling like the worst mother in the world. Well, when I picked Keira up, she was all smiles and had a good day. She just loved gym class (and the gym uniform). Lunch well went and Keira seems to be making more friends. Keira did not get to take Leo home tonight but seems to have handled it fine. Keira continues to surprise me each day at just how grown up she is. She is exhausted now and I'm sure it will be a really long week - luckily we have a long weekend and then a shorter week next week to adjust some.
