First day of school!

Today is Emily's first day of school. She was very excited to go and see her friends, especially Emmett.

Mary, the bus aid, said that Emmett got on the bus and told her that he wanted Emily to sit next to him when they got to her house. Isn't that sweet? They have seen each other a couple times this summer at church. Emmett's family goes to Assumption too.

Well, all was fine until they got her hooked up to her seatbelt contraption. It is a different type of bus than last year. They had built in child restraints on that one. This year, the kids have to put on a "vest" and the vest is attached to the bus seat. I guess it's safe? I don't blame her for crying, putting that thing on .

But she's off to school and hopefully, keeping her pants dry and having fun with her new friends. Oh, and Louie was carrying on on the front lawn because he wanted to go on the bus too. Maybe Emily was sympathy crying for him? Who knows, she was not a happy girl.
