First Day of School

Meghan joined the ranks of schoolbound kids on Sept 17. The morning started out rough.

She felt a bit better when we put the backpack on her and started to leave.




By the end of the driveway she was all smiles.




The bus barely stopped before she jumped on.



Meghan sat with "the girl in the red coat" and made her first new friend.


Fast forward seven hours to when David and I met the after-school bus. All the other kids get off the bus. David and I wait. Meghan is still in her seat with "the girl in the red coat". The driver looks like he's about to pull away. Finally, Meghan realizes that she should get off and does. (She had been looking across the street where the morning bus picked her up. Since she didn't see us there, she didn't think it was her stop).

"What did you do at school today, Meghan?

"I played and played and played and I didn't kick any boys."


There was a note from her teacher in Meghan's backpack: Meghan kicked a boy today and had a time out...I'm sure it won't happen again.

Oh my goodness, I think that's the funniest punch line ever!

Ha! Well, Meghan, if you're going to kick someone, it might as well be a stinky old boy! ;)

lol!! Love how little ones tell you how they wish things went, rather than how they actually went :)
