NO TEARS FOR ME!


She thinks the backpack on one shoulder is cool ;)

I did it! I put Emily on the bus this morning and I did not tear up. I am pretty proud of myself. Emily is loving school. She comes home each day with a smile on her face and lots to tell us. She is excited to go to bed she she can get up and get dressed in the morning.
I went to K information last night. We got some not so great news. The K at our school is to big. All the classes are too full. They are going to have to make a new class with a new teacher. Our teacher told us that 4 are going out of her class. I really really like Emily's teacher. She has been doing it for a long time and said she would not want to teach anything else. I would think it takes a special person to love K. So they will let us know on Friday if Emily is one that will be moved. I am sure she will be fine either way. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that she gets to stay put.

EMILY'S FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN

Our big girl Emily went to her first day of school today. She was so excited she woke up early ready to get dressed. She was a little disappointed when I told her she has about an hour until it was time. She passed the time with a little Disney channel while I made her special requested breakfast of pancakes and sausage with chocolate milk. She wanted to ride the bus to school which for me was out of the question! So she settled for riding the bus home. She did great! Bill and I walked her into her class she but her lunch box in the basket, hung her new backpack on the back of her chair and was ready for business. I felt the tears coming so I gave her a quick kiss and said goodbye. A few tears fell as I walked out the door. Bill gave her a kiss and a few words of encouragement. She was already fast at work coloring her Welcome to Kindergarten bear. Bill then gave me a few words of encouragement and he was off to work. I made a quick stop to turn in a form with the PTA. I held it together until I made it to the car and had a little cry. It seened like the longest day ever. I went out to wait for the bus and I waited and waited and waited. I was on the phone with the bus barn and here comes the bus down the street (30 mins late). The door opened and there she was all smiles! She said to me do you know that I get to go to school everyday! Too Cute.
One funny story- I asked her if she made some new friends and she said yes and that one was a boy. She said I told him something. What did you tell him I asked. I love you she said. OMG I will not be surprised at all when a note comes home about my sweet baby girl driving those poor boys crazy LOL.

Our big girl ready to go!

What a pretty kindergartender!
