Well, summer is finally over and the leaves are quickly falling from the trees. What's new?? Portia started school. She was so excited to be going but I really had a hard time letting go. The first day she took the school bus was the hardest. She looked so beautiful, yet still so baby like. I kept questioning myself, wondering if I was doing the right thing. Maybe I should wait another year before I send her off...but I knew she really wanted to go and needed the stimulation. Of course the school bus came late and for every passing moment, our anxiety grew. Finally it came around the corner and I sensed Portia hesitating. Alex must have sensed how we were feeling since he swiped her up, put her on the bus between two bigger children, and sent her off. The doors closed and I stood there crying like a baby. Alex had to drive me home since I was a mess. I came into our quiet house and started to bawl. A little while later, a friend called (Tina) and informed me that she saw Portia, and her massive backpack, get off the bus. Actually she was so small, the teacher had to help her down. She just looked at Tina and said "Hi zia. Where's Tianna?", as if it was any regular day. Portia was so excited when we came to pick her up at the bus stop. She even told us that one of the big kids that she sat with held her hand. She said she couldn't wait to go back to school. Yeah, let's see how long she sings that tune?!
