And the Adventure Begins...Kindergarten!

*Update on the first day-It was great according to Kylee. She said she got sad once with a couple tears at recess when she could not find Mrs. Harris but she found her and got happy. She said I was fine. She also said she made a few friends. One of the girls at her table said, Do you want to be my friend? And KYlee said I told her Yes. Instant friends. Sounds easy! She said they read A Kissing Hand and a manners book. Learned a new hallway song. She wrote her name once, she had music but they didn't sing any songs (she was a tad confused), went to PE, and that was it. So all in all a good day. She is ready for day 2 and she said her teacher told them day 2 is more fun that the first but they couldn't tell them what they were doing. Hope it is:)

There she is my little Kindergartner. She woke up before her alarm went off ready for this new adventure to begin. She was so excited. She had drawn a picture for her teacher that she brought down. In the corner of her letter it said, ILYMERS (Translation:I love you Mrs. Harris). Too cute!!! She is definitely ready for Kindergarten. I woke up early, possibly the earliest to actually shower and get dressed since I taught school. I held it together all morning pretty well but now Katie is asleep and I see a very dark room with no little girl coming out to ask if she can do this or that. I could have my first cry moment any minute (so that is why I am blogging). We got to school along with tons and tons of moms and dads headed to her class and were met at the door by her precious teacher, Mrs. Harris. Who I will say is an answer to our prayers? She was the teacher I really wanted Kylee to have and who so many people said such great stuff about. She greeted Kylee who was so happy and took her to her desk. She had play dough and a color sheet for them to do. The rest of the class was so cute sitting still doing their work. Charley and I kissed Kylee goodbye and we were out the door. She was happy the whole time without a problem. It happened so fast that I wondered did we prepare her enough, is she ready for this, and even though I wanted this teacher I have actually only known her for 15 minutes and I am leaving her there with her. I got a mini shortness of breath episode but stopped it and headed into the library for a cheer and tears for Kindergarten parents. I didn't cry I was just nervous. So Charley went and peeked in on Kylee and we left. I did meet a lady at the breakfast who said her daughter was also in that class and she has two older boys at the school and she said Mrs.Harris is so sweet, never raises her voice and is motherly. All these attributes explain why Kylee is in there, this is the type teacher she needed and I prayed for. I am proud of my little Kindergartner and can't wait to go pick her up in less than 2 hours. I will update on how the first day went soon.

As for Katie, when we got home we watched Dora together and made cupcakes for Kylee for her treat when she gets home. I know she will be glad when her sister gets home also:)
