Kindergarten

Wow...can it really be true? Is our baby going to school?? We have been saying this several times a day over the past week! Emily started Kindergarten last Thursday. Here are some photos. She has been a trooper...she loved the first day, was tired the next day but ready to go, but by last night was saying she didn't want to go to school because she needed to stay home and be with me. I reminded her how boring I am and how fun school is, mentioned art class, and that was all it took. She went out the morning again like a pro....backpack on and ready to take on the world! She has most enjoyed "kitchen center" but also has learned some new songs and games.

And I haven't broken into a full-blown cry yet....a little mist here and there, but no real tears. Of course, Dennis is her PE teacher and is on hand if there is any issue, so I guess really that is cheating! If he weren't there, I'm sure I'd have gone through at least a box of Kleenex so far and called the school to check in or driven by to peer into the windows a few times a day! ;)
