Pyper asked if I could take her picture this morning. She said she hopes today will be better than yesterday, and when she looks back at pictures she'll just pretend today was her first day of school. Poor girl. It's no fun being new. The day started off good, and went downhill. Here's her list of highlights...*The bus driver playing music on the bus.
*REALLY looking forward to her first ever hot lunch
*Eating a hot dog bun and chocolate milk for her first ever hot lunch
*Deciding she will never eat hot lunch again
*Not having anyone to sit by while she ate her hot dog bun
*Not having anyone talk to her during recess, and staying inside with the teacher
*The boy who told her she should shave her arms and make a winter coat out of it :(
*Trying to get on the bus at the end of the day, and the teacher telling her that she wasn't "authorized"
*Worrying That Elle would get on the wrong bus because she wasn't there to help her, and then worrying that Elle would be lost.
I'd say that's a bad day. I feel so bad for her, and I'm PRAYING that today goes better. I packed her a lunch, so at least she won't be hungry. As for mean boys... we had the whole- "he probly thinks your cute" talk. It didn't help. She does have really hairy arms. She can thank her dad for that. She's super self concious about it. It's really blond, so it shows up more when she's tan. I don't think it looks bad- but it doesn't matter what I think, only how she feels. Is she too young for laser hair removal??? Ugh. Hopefully the issue with the bus will be resolved today. Apparently when we registered them, there was a glitch in the system and they weren't signed up for the bus. School starts at 7:45, and they get on the bus at 6:30. Yikes. They do get home at 3:00. I thought about just driving them- but the bus stop is right out my front door, so I can leave the boys asleep in bed. They don't seem to mind the early hour too much. I do. :) So Pype- let's just call today your first day. Forget about yesterday.
While the girls were gone Crew took a swim in my tub
And Tyke helped me with lunch.
Oh yeah- Elle. When I asked her about her day, she said "There's definitely room for improvement." She said all the girls ignored her so she played on the slide by herself, and ate by herself. (hot dog bun and chocolate milk) She wasn't too worried about it, but that's just Elle. She just kinda rolls with life.

i was teased for having hairy arms too! I went on to be student body president, and the teasing boy went on to drop out of high school....so tell pyper that she is awesome and not to let lame boys bother her. I feel for her though. school is tough. Both of your girls are beautiful, and I bet the other kids feel threatened by their awesomeness!!!
How sad! Your girls are so cute and nice that I'm sure in no time that things will be better. Olivia has this dark hair on her back so I rarely let her wear things that show it because of mean boys (and girls). Hopefully her new "first day" went better!
They are breaking my heart! Kids can be so mean!
Kids can be so mean. I'm sure Pyper and Elle will both make good friends and have better days. That rocks that the bus driver plays music. (At least, as a kid, I would have loved it!!)
That makes me so sad. It is hard for me to think of Pyper so big all I can see is my cute little 3 year old and I just want to go beat up (or send Tyson to) that little boy. I hope today went better and I hope they both met some nice people SOON!!!! give a call sometime!
Ugh! I want to go punch that kid in the face! And she's not even my daughter! Ü Pyper and Elle are so beautiful and cool! They will have friends in no time! Sorry it was such a bad day though! I hope today will be better.
We could have used some of Pyper's glam yesterday. I was seriously standing there at Lomond in the morning, wondering what the Lane girls would be wearing if they were here, and what amazing hairdo's they's be sporting, and what crazy Crew story you'd have to tell me. I missed you bad!
oh how sad, kids can be so mean i hate it!! do parents not teach their kids to be nice anymore? I guess some kids are just mean no matter what they are taught. Your girls are adorable and LOVE elle's first day of school outfit! Miss you guys, hope the girls find friends soon, I'm sure they will they are too cute and sweet not to have friends right away!!
Abbee Howard told me in 3rd grade that I had hairy arms too. Funny how that stuff makes you crazy, but hey, I think I turned out ok in the end. (you can't see me, but I'm examining my arm hair now - - i think it needs a little trim. . . . hmmm).
Hope things get better. Don't you wish you could just do it for them sometimes??
