Eight days late, but she made it!

If you were at our house last week (which you probably weren't b/c you didn't want to catch pneumonia), this is how you would have often found Sidney...even though she was supposed to be in school for the first time. She could generally be found sitting quietly or laying down somewhere, and every afternoon she was sacked out on our bed for a two hour nap or so. In this particular pix, she was laying on my tummy feeling her baby brother kick...but a few minutes later, she was comatose for a few hours. Poor thing...she's had a rough week and a half.
However, today she was finally healthy enough to experience her first day of kindergarten! Yay Sid!
Of course, I had to take a few pictures before we headed out the door this morning. :)
Caleb did pretty well today despite his big sis being gone. I distracted him by putting him to work dusting and vacuuming...haha. He was all for it as long as he got to spray the Pledge and push the button on the vaccuum cleaner. :) Don't worry, we played some too. :)
The first things she told me when I picked her up were that she stayed on green all day (meaning good behavior) and that she made three new friends. Oh, and her favorite part of the day was center time. :) We tried to celebrate her first day with parfaits from McDonalds, but their ice cream machine was broken. Of course, I had to dig deep and take her to Dairy Queen instead...woohoo! :) Nothing like a blizzard on a scorching hot Texas day, esp when you're 31 weeks prego. :)
This was our attempt to get a picture of the two of us at the end of the day. Sorry for the quality, I just couldn't get it quite right. If you're wondering why I look so tired, it's b/c I was up half the night fretting about today. You'd think it was my first day of school all over again! :)

Good things are work the wait! Way to go Sidney and what a cute first day of school outfit!

p.s. way to go Stacy too- I think Kindergarten is hands down harder on the parents than the kids!
