Day number 2 of school is in the books and though it is early, things are still looking good. Cooper loves riding the bus, much to McKenna's disappointment, but she is being a good sport and a good sister and not complaining much. I'm sure that once it gets cold and the newness wears off I will once again be driving them in the mornings.
Today after the kids got on the bus, Kinley and I headed to Bloomsburg to pick up my faculty parking pass. I absolutely hate making that drive solely for the purpose of spending 5 minutes getting a pass but it had to be done. Kinley settled in with a movie and barely made a peep the whole time. She probably figured that after all the time spent in the car this summer an hour and a half this morning was small potatoes.
We were back in Lewisburg by 9:45 and we had the whole rest of the morning stretched before us. The weather was still pretty mild so I decided that we would make a stop at the playground. I don't think that I've ever been at the playground with just Kinley so this was a nice treat. And after a summer spent keeping tabs on three kids at once, it was nice to just focus on one for a little while. Kinley had a blast playing and running and sliding and running some more. I had a great time watching her. I think that sometimes I get so focused on making sure I spend time with the older kids that I take for granted spending one on one time with Kinley. I have that false sense that I have all the time in the world with her. My experience tells me not to fall in that trap again because before I know it she will be boarding the school bus too!
