Hannah's First Day Back at School


Hannah was BEYOND THRILLED to be getting up & going to school. I thought she might turn into a bundle of nerves on the ride to school but she was geared up & ran to her classroom.

Lily was stunned when Hannah walked in the classroom & the door closed without her. Really. Lily was asking, "Where is Lily's school? .... Lily make friends?". The girl is so ready for a pre-school program that I'd better find her something fast! I promised her tomorrow we'd go looking for a "school for Lily".

I will never forget today & what it means to have Hannah in a classroom filled with germs and a body that has enough white blood cells to fight off an infection that otherwise would have killed her a year ago.

Today was a dream come true & I am almost afraid to really believe this is happening.

We were almost late (shocking, I know!) but I did get 2 quick pictures as we were going in.

When we picked Hannah up today she ran back & gave her teacher a hug. Without any prompting. Hannah told me she can't wait to go to bed tonight because then she gets to wake up tomorrow & go to school again... do you think she loves it!?

Cheers to life in 2010 & the routine of it all!!!!

P.S. And a HUGE thank you to Miss D: without you, today's happiness would not be possible!
