First Day of School...

Yes that is right. I have a daughter in KINDERGARTEN. Today was the day I was dreading...because Kindergarten has been so stressful. It has actually been two years of stressing, because I decided to keep Kadie in preschool one more year although she technically could have gone last year.

I was glad that I expected the worst, Kadie crying, Kadie scared, Kadie shy, worst of all ME CRYING. But to my surprise the day went so good. I held it together, and I was so proud of her! She jumped right in and did everything her teacher told her to try without hesitation. I know she will do great, and I am so glad I waited because she was so ready and excited about it.

She actually got into a Kindergarten/1st grade split class. I am really excited about it. 10 Kindergarteners, 10 First graders...and both get time away from the other age group with the teacher. Which means more one on one time for Kadie and her Teacher. Her Preschool was a smaller group like that and I think this will be great for her!

After her teacher read a story to the class, she put her hand up in the air. What was her question? "Do we get to go to recess now?" All of the parents laughed, and Kadie with her enormous grin, smiled at everyone because she knew she was funny...but not exactly WHY she was funny. Ah Kadie, I will miss her everyday.
