roots and wings



the day has arrived
a bit of drizzle didn't dampen her spirits. She woke with joy and excitement for her first day of school
a small breakfast with books read as she nibbled
then in the outfit she chose, off to the schoolbus
front row seat with a couple of kids she knew from the first tots n tunes days
she'll be full of stories when we see her at four
and us?
mom and dad have a day to ourselves to enjoy and not to work .... just for us
as we mark the change of our life now.

God bless technology... Finally, the "first day of school photo" that doesn't have the hand-scrawled, barely-legible 2 0 0 6 held askew by multiple children. One quick powerpoint slice, and all the info's there, including the school. the date, and the cuirous "chicken bus" reference.

Chicken bus is the animal identifier on her bus to and from school.
Easier to remember than a number for tiny ones.
and apparently it's infamous too.
She has a tag on her backpack with a photo of her holding a chicken so she gets on the right bus.
handy to have your own chickens for such an occasion!

she'll be home in 30 minutes!

Happy First Day of School to Fiona! A real milestone for everyone! I'm sure she'll be a great little student.
