Remarkably well. I (Theresa) was pretty confident that they would enjoy their class and teacher, but I was anxious about how the bus ride would go. Especially since last night Ellen broke down sobbing about her fears. But this morning was great. They followed the new morning routine to get ready on time and as I started to get dressed the busdriver called to say that she was at the bus stop (20 min. before the scheduled arrival time). Allow me to interject here to say what you're all thinking --"Bus drivers call you when they are there and you're not?" I was surprised too (actually she called yesterday morning wondering where we were b/c the rest of the school started on Tues, but Kindergarten started on Wed.), but thankful.

When I took the girls to the bus this morning I talked with the driver and she gave me her cell phone number. It was one of those van-size busses. H and E are the first ones on and according to them it also picks up 3 boys (1 light and 2 dark as Hayley described them). H and E did not sit together (Hayley said she didn't want to sit with Ellen and she sat behind her. Tomorrow she might sit across from Ellen--is this more information than you need???). They won't ride the bus home until next week b/c Kindergarten only goes until 10:30am this week. Which means I pick them up :) Today I had to go in for new parent orientation anyway.
