We have been so blessed that Shaylynn was able to make such a smooth transition into West Valley School District's Preschool Program. I was worried there would be problems with her IEP or that they'd say she needed more testing, or worse of all, that they would say she didn't qualify. Shaylynn's speech has improved so much, but it she still has a long way to go before she is at the same level of speech as her peers. Anyway, all my fears were for naught, and she started school on September 7th.
Last year she begged and BEGGED to ride the bus, but it was easier for me to drive her so I didn't have to wait for the bus. Apparently there could be a 20 minute difference in drop-off time, depending on if a little girl in a wheelchair rode the bus or not. Well, this year I GLADLY signed her up for the bus. Her school is located out in the boonies and it would take me about 15 minutes ONE WAY to get her to school. She has to get on the bus at 7:45 a.m. but because she's the first one on, she's also the first one off. Her school doesn't even start until 9 a.m. However; she gets home a little before noon. She LOVES riding the bus and she looks SO cute on it. It' a mini bus equipped with seat belts. We're in charge of putting her on the bus, buckling her seat belt, and stowing her backpack in the tub. When she gets home, we do the complete opposite. Her bus driver is a gem! We just love Beth!
I'm nervous because next year Kindergarten is all day every day. I have no idea how Shaylynn will do being gone all day. I guess it will be nice to only have to do one bus drop off and pick up instead of the two I'm currently doing.
Well, enough talking, I promised you some pictures.
Isn't the shirt adorable? She wanted to buy it because it was like her "daddy's working shirt". She just HAD TO HAVE THE TIE!!!! Funny little girl. I tried and tried to get her to wear some really cute jeans, but she INSISTED on wearing those shorts. Even now, when she saw me posting the pictures, she begged me to get the shorts out.

I love having the bus take them to school. I can't wait till next year for it to be taking both of them! Shay will do just fine all day every day, let's hope. Cute pics!
She looks so cute in her tie! We did every other day kindergarten last year & have gone back to half day every day this year. She will probably love kindergarten.
That shirt and tie are super cute. I was expecting to see her favorite red Philly's hat on too.
I can't get over how cute she is. She just gets cuter and cuter. I can't believe how long her hair is too!!! I'm so glad the preschool schedule has worked out so well. She'll do great next year going to school all day!
You have an eye for cute kids clothes. I can' believe how long Shay's hair is! Your girls are so adorable.
Oh my goodness, what a cutie pie! I love that outfit, and my favorite part is that she picked it! Can she come dress me?? I cannot believe how grownup she looks. I'm so glad she had such a smooth transition.
