Lydia goes to school...

Wednesday, 2/13/13

Lydia was invited by our go-to-babysitter, Ashley Benton who is a junior at East Buchanan, to attend 'Little Buc Day' ...I said, "sure... what is it?" :)  It's an ALL-DAY venture for 3-6-yr-olds.... (yup, all-day) to attend school with the high-schooler who is taking the child-psychology class. I was shocked and kept telling her that if she needed me to come and get Lydia mid-day I would do so :)  BUT, she did great... I guess she dozed off around 1:30 but she stayed the whole day like a champ. AND, the kicker... she got to ride the bus home. :D  I Ok'd it with the principal (it's a 15-min bus ride) as long as Lauren & Lindsay agreed to look out for her.... done.

So of course I got no pictures of her before she left. It was pretty much mass chaos. The night before we packed her bag and I asked her, what do you want to wear? And she said matter-of-factly... "my Grandma-Alice dress" :)  melt. my. heart.

What I DID take pictures of was Ms. Wiam who wanted to know where "Wyia" was ALL day.  

And finally we saw it... the bus coming over the hill. So here is LeaAnn. Short but sweet :)

She got so excited... it was adorable.

However, I couldn't take film and get pictures at the same time... so I failed to get her coming off the bus. She was SO MAD at me!  It was hysterical. I guess she was mad to get ON the bus b/c she didn't want to leave school... and then she was MAD at the school bus b/c she didn't want the bus ride to end or to get off. :)  Oh what are we going to do with this 'little-big' girl... as she always has been.  Obviously not taking a nap, and being at daycare the previous 2-days, did not help anything.. but here she is sulking off ;)

And my futile attempt at getting a group shot.

I do wish there was a sheet that came home with her that told me what she did all day... according to Ashley she did great... I'm pretty sure pre-school will be a hit next year ;)
