Day One

Princess is officially a schoolgirl and loving every minute of it. She has two new friends and both of their names start with M so she is having a little trouble keeping them straight while telling me what they did at recess. Although she is a little worried because one of her new friends doesn’t like to swing so recess has been problematic. Did I mention you get to go to recess three times in kindergarten? Princess has reminded me of this fact many, many times.

Yesterday Dear Husband and I took Princess to school and got her situated. We looked around her room, gave her a hug and kiss, and left. She didn’t seem to care much when we left and there wasn’t a trace of a tear. In fact all the kids seemed to be ok when their parents headed out.

This morning on the way to school she told me her teacher writes the number of the day of the school year on the board every morning so today would be two. Then Princess asked me how many days of school there was this year. I told her about 180. She was ecstatic. I hope she can keep up this level of enthusiasm for the rest of her education.

Flower is taking school better than I expected, but that’s just Flower. She really wants to go to school with Princess, but once we get to daycare she heads to the playroom. I think she’s secretly enjoying being the “big” girl because she’s the second oldest now and Princess isn’t there to boss her around all day.

I think I am adjusting to school. The evenings have been a little chaotic this week but our mornings have gone very well so I can’t complain. We have packed our lunches, laid out our clothes, and planned breakfast at night. Hopefully we won’t fall of the organization wagon after the first week of school.
