august 27

it's brooke's 2nd day of school, but it's the start of her first full week in kindergarten.  kevin was home and got to walk brooke to the bus stop with me and gavin.  i thought i did so good on friday by putting brooke on the bus and not driving to school to see her get off the bus and go into kindergarten.  i knew she didn't need that, but evidently she saw other parents at school so this morning she asked if i would please drive to school (she was on the bus) and watch her line up.  i was there to see her get off the bus and line up with her classmates.  i met ella who brooke talked about on friday ("mommy, i made a friend named ella.") and got a better idea of her morning routine at school.  brooke is growing up so fast!  i hope she always feels confident enough to ask me for what she wants/needs from me.  i'm so glad she asked me to be there today.
