Walking to the car with her rest mat...
... and her lunch box! She had picked a different backpack and then one day at target as we were getting her school supplies she saw this lunch box and said mom hold on go back to the other isle, so I did and she says that blue backpack I LUV it, and it has a lunchbox to go with it, with a water bottle. So we went with the matching lunchbox and backpack, I mean how could you not?
In the car on the way to school! I think she is a little nervous
KB and I really lucked out (notice I did not say Swifty) on the first day of school because Swifty got really sick. Since dad was sick and home in bed anyway, I put a movie on for the boys (that way Swifty really could rest) and I took KB to school. It was just the two of us. When we got to school I noticed that all of the parents had parked and walked their kids in so I did too. I tried to get more pictures but KB asked me to leave the camera in the car because it embarrasses her, can you do that at 6 years old? So I left it in the car and took her in. I sat and talked to her and some other kids in the class while they waited at their table. When it was time to go to class she asked if I could walk her to class so I said I could walk her to the door and then I would need to leave she said great. It was so hard not to cry, BUT I didn't, at least not until I got to the car. We missed her this week, but my boys are much calmer without her around, and it has been fun to spend a little more one on one time with them. Now for the life when weekends mean something special!

What a very sweet post.
She looks big & little all at the same time in the photos. Tell her the backpack/lunchbox combo was a great choice.
Well done, mama! She's going to be just fine!
she looks so cute and grown up! i took ella to school on the first day this year and dropped her off at the curb- habit from last year i guess. but once i left i started to cry because i should have walked her in- she looked so lost! why is this so much harder on us then it is on them?
You and Swifty have a beautiful family and it is great to read your wonderful stories...
