After not posting to the blog for far too long.....I figured the first day of Kindergarten was a big enough reason to post. We had one very excited little kiddo. She is super excited to wear her school uniform. She picked out all skirts and jumpers, but I got a couple pair of shorts for her too. I was definitely more anxious than she was. We all walked to school together as a family. Dropoff was a bit chaotic, but we hung out in the gym with the other kindergarten parents. There is only one other person in the entire school that we've ever met, and she actually ended up in the same class as Greta. Although we haven't seen this little girl in probably a year, she and Greta hugged upon seeing each other and made plans to play together every day. Made me happy that she found an ally so quickly. We said our good-byes and Greta marched down the hall with her new class.
She LOVED her first (and now second) day of school. She really hasn't told us much about the day, but the first thing she wanted to know when I picked her up was if she got to go to Latchkey before school too.....apparently she was semi disappointed that we didn't take her to Latchkey before school on the first day. Her only complaint both days has been that she hasn't got to read at school, but she makes up for it by reading even more at home each night. We had dance on Monday evening and she was sooooo EXHAUSTED. Probably not the best idea on the first day of school, but she has a performance this weekend, so the teacher really wanted all of them to make it to practice. She literally fell down multiple times, and not just in her normal klutzy way, but in a "I can't stand on my feet any longer" type way. We made it through dance and dinner and had a super early bed time. We are definitely having to make big adjustments from our summer bedtime schedule.
Enjoy the pics!
