Gracie Finds A Friend

On her first day of school I tried to get her to sit with the other little boy in her class that we found at the bus stop--but they got seperated in all the hustle and bustle.

But, on her ride home that day she told me she sat next to a little girl.

I didn't think much of it, except how glad I was to have her home and that she was in one piece and fine. But, apparently she and this little girl (whom I found out this morning is also a Kindergartner) are now best bus buddies.

Yesterday (day #2) when we got to the top of the hill she walked over and grabbed this little girl's hand and they climbed the bus steps together. It was too cute, but it took me by surprise and I didn't have my camera ready. Well, apparently they found each other after school and rode home together as well.

This morning (day #3) we had to make a mad dash for the bus. Yep, I haven't run for the bus in over 15 years, but Gracie and I ran up the hill since the bus was nearly 8 minutes early!

(Thank goodness there are 30+ kids at this (the only) stop, we bought time as they took several minutes to filter on!)

After I reached the top and stopped panicking, Gracie saw her friend and they ran and gave each other hugs. Once I caught my breath I got the camera out and grabbed a picture of the two friends.

They were the last ones on the bus, but found a seat up front and seemed to be very happy as they made their way to school.

Tomorrow, we leave at 7:35, who knows how early he will be and I am too old to make a mad dash for the bus with a 5 year old in tow! :)
