First Day of School, Part 2




This past week was Molly's turn to start school...FINALLY! She's been watching Caroline get on the bus everyday for the last few months and wondering when she'll get to go! So last Tuesday, Caroline, Molly and myself (I have to ride due to her age) loaded up and rode to school. We're still getting used to our new routine and having to get 3 of us out the door by 6:30, but it's coming along!


We arrived at the school and Molly took off leaving me with Caroline, who wanted me to walk her to class ;) I explained that I was there for Molly's first day, just like I did with her on her first day and that she needed to go and find her friends. I turned and Molly was already on the playground making friends and having a great time. She only found me when she needed to find the potty!
Of course the day was not as easy for me watching my little one run off without a second thought! I'm thrilled at her confidence and enthusiasm, but sad to lose my buddy from the last 3 and a half years! Although, Julianne has filled her shoes well. We're getting some uninterrupted time together and lots of giggles!


We also had a couple of Halloween activities over the weekend. Here's the 4 Ros fairies! We had games, a haunted house and trick or treating here at the embassy followed by a campout on the lawn! To be honest, I didn't think the girls and Eric would last until midnight, but they proved me wrong and only when the flies came out at dawn to they come back to the comforts of the house! Then the girls' school had another Halloween party last night with lots of games, candy and fun! Needless to say, we're off to a tired start this week!
