First Day at Kindergarten

This is more of an adventure day to daddy and mommy. Hannah is going to ride on the school bus. According to the schedule, she is at the 1st stop, the total ride is about 25 minutes.

In that morning, daddy reminded mommy again to ride with Hannah if allowed.

At the bus stop, Hannah and Mom met a little boy - Alex, who was also a kindergartener, but for West Mercer. His dad came with him and told us that Alex's bus route # was the same as Hannah's. "Hmm, that's strange. Perhaps, the school district dedicates one bus for all kindergarteners... "

Finally, the bus came. "Can I ride with my daughter for the first day?" asked mom. "Sure!" driver replied with a big smile.

Alex's daddy was not planning to get on the bus. The boy happily waved hands to say "bye" to his daddy and got on the bus also. The driver asked: "Are both kids going to Lakeridge?" "No, Alex is going to West Mercer" ... Oh no, Alex belonged to a different bus group. That's too bad. Mommy wished Alex were on this bus to ride with Hannah. They would be wonderful playmates.

It was a very pleasant bus route. Hannah and Mom saw mountains, trees, flowers, birds, lakes, ... Hannah didn't pay attention to the path, she was so comfy sitting with mom. Though mom was worried if the little girl could ride the bus home by herself. More and more kids got on the bus, finally, the full load bus arrived school's loading zone. All the kindergarten teachers were waiting to pickup their little student. Seeing Hannah joined her teacher and her classmates, mom relaxed a bit. Daddy drove to school that morning to pickup mommy. There were many many parents there, and even more in the classroom after the class begins. :)

Around lunch time, Mom and Grandma were driving around to see houses nearby the school. Mom and grandma missed the little girl already and decided to drive by the school. Hannah would be in the playground since the lunch should be over by then. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the playground from the driving path. So, we drove into the parking lot, still nothing except several kids were walking back to their classrooms. One little girl seems got lost. At the end of that long building, she peeked this side, and then disappeared, and then showed up again. Apparently, she's looking for her classmates or teachers. "Oh no, that's Hannah. She got lost!". Grandma confirmed it also. Well, mom wanted to see if the girl could find the way back by herself. So, mom and grandma drove around the parking lot for another circle. Oh oh, the girl was still there wondering around. Mom decided to rescure her ... By the time mom got there, the girl disappeared. She met her teachers then.

In the bedtime talk, mom started:

"Anything interesting happened today?" "The school is so cool, there are ropes you can hold on to slide from one side to the other side."

"How about the lunch?" "It is so so yummy, ..."

"Did you meet any new friends?" "Yes, three ..."

To mom's surprise, the girl said a lot of things. Apparently, she had so much fun at school. But she didn't mention the "lost" part at all. To save time, mom asked her directly about what happened after lunch hour. Hannah said:"Richard and I couldn't find others after recess. So, he asked me where is everyone, and I asked him where is everyone. Isn't that funny, mama?" Apparently, she had an companion when she got lost, that's better. :) "Mama, how do you know about this?" Hannah asked. ...

The day was over. Everyone in the family rest happily.
