Once everything was ready she still had half an hour until it was time to go and that last 30 minutes was driving her crazy as the clock was NOT moving fast enough.
As soon as the clock struck 8:00 she was off and running out the door to the bus stop. She was filled with excitement and anticipation just waiting out there for the bus to come was getting harder and harder.
Once the bus rounded the corner jumping up and down, with a squeal in her voice she ran to the line to board the bus.
This day for me is filled with both excitement and anxiety as the last time she tried school was a few years in preschool and her immune system could not handle being around the other children. We had to pull her out to prevent serious and permanent damage to her lungs. After pulling from preschool the damage was severe enough that it took over a year of prednisone and other serious lung treatments to restore some of her lung function.
The exciting part is because she was NEVER expected to live long enough to attend public school and if she did we were warned to expect severe cognitive delays and not expect her to progress beyond the infant stage. SO to see her run jump and climb in the bus to join a normal kindergarten class is very exciting because she can and is ready for this academically and emotionally.
Just so exctied and can't wait
spinning circles to burn energy and bordom

you know I can see Ellie jumping up and down waiting to go to school. She is a people person and that is exciting. Now all the kids are in school time for mom to relax and get organized and get some rest, for you need it.
