First day rush...

So Miss Baby Ruth's first day was...

memorable...

See, the girls attend 3 different schools...

the way the grades are split here that's just the way it ended up.

Anyway...

So by the time I had dropped Kit-Kat and Chocolate chip off

there was NO parking left at Baby Ruth's school...

So...

We parked in the vacant lot next to the school and hoofed it in...

Well...

we were in a bit of a hurry so we were walking briskly...

Wouldn't you know my babe tripped and skinned her knee.

I picked her up, brushed her off and tried my hardest not to cry.

We finally made it into the gym where we were supposed to

line up behind the monkey...

except...

we were late so Mrs. H was leading the class out the other side

of the gym on the way to class.

We made our way through the maze of children and parents

finally catching up to them in the stairwell...

I told Mrs. H that Baby Ruth was bleeding

and I had to run her to the nurse for a band-aid...

She said no problem and she'd send her aid down to

pick her up.

I had just stuck the band-aid on when the aid arrived...

"Are you ready Baby Ruth?" she said

"Yep!"

and she was off the chair and racing down the hall...

"Baby Ruth, wait for me, I'm coming" said the aid with her hand in the air.

In all the excitement I didn't get to give her a hug and

wish her luck on her first day of school...

There will be more firsts but only one first first...

Baby Ruth being Baby Ruth didn't even notice...

Love her.

The sun was not cutting us a break for our pictures...



She couldn't even look up...

Cute

But I did manage to get this one while we waited in traffic...

Thank goodness!

So my little buddy and I made it back to the car where I was finally able

to lose it...

Where has the time gone?
