Well, we survived!!! Andrew and Hailey had their FIRST day of kindergarten today! They loved it! We have been anxiously awaiting this day for a long time… and there were lots of emotions about it. But thankfully, it was a good day for all of us! (Mama had several tears upon saying goodbye, though!)
Andrew and Hailey are in the same class (YEA!) at Woodridge Elementary, which is only three blocks from our house. They have a great teacher named Mrs. Christian, and only 20 kids in their class. Andrew has been SO excited for kindergarten, at least since our orientation about three months ago. He is super delighted about the selection of books in the classrooms, as he is such an avid reader. Hailey has been excited, too, but a bit more shy. So, we were all relieved when A&H came home describing their new friends and how much they enjoyed it. They go to school from 9:00 to 3:25 each day, except on Wednesday, when they finish at 1pm.
I had a lovely day with Greta alone. It was a treat to have such good time with her all day… and she was just giddy with excitement over how much time we had together to take a walk, read books, etc. You can see how happy she was to “lick the batter” all by herself when we decided to make muffins today. No sharing required! HA!
I laughed when I entered the school this afternoon to pick up the twins. About five steps into school I ran into the “Lost and Found” table, which, of course, had Andrew’s blue lunchbox on it!! Why did that not surprise me???
We are so blessed! Thank you for the many ways that YOU have supported our family as we have moved toward this big new step!
