I am happy to report that the first day of kindergarten (which is, in reality, only three hours long) went successfully!
Was I concerned? Not much. Occasionally, I thought there would be some separation anxiety (even though that's never been an issue with my WONDERFUL daughters), but they didn't even require a good-bye hug when I took them to their classrooms.
Let's rewind for a moment - this is their third school - preschool was had for a year and a half previously. But this is big kid school. (Did anyone ever notice how fifth graders look really big?)
Have I mentioned that Wendi and Hailie are BRILLIANT?! Wendi notices absolutely everything. It is an unusual gift; she sees when people need something or if something isn't quite right... I love this talent of hers!
Today she said, "Mom, what's the orange stuff by the garage door?"
Me: "What orange stuff?" I look around and see nothing orange.
Hailie: "Right THERE, Mom!"
Me: "Uh, don't see any-" WAIT! Um, haven't been paintballing in a while, but pretty sure I know what THOSE are! (only one pictured... there are two more)

I LOVE your kids. And that picture is absolutely priceless.

I am glad the first day was a success!
i had no idea you had a blog :D glad I found you :D
kindergarten is only 3 hours long?! ugh. Here it is the full 6. Mandatory. Even though in California, Kindergarten isn't even REQUIRED!
I think it's just parents pushing for an all day, free sitter.
hope they love it!
