Today was the first day. We enrolled her in all day every day Catholic kindergarten. Not exactly a way to save dimes and pennies, perhaps, but it is well worth it. Here she is in the morning. The first picture I took of her she said “Dad, I can’t see my headband very well.”

It was teddy bear day so she got to bring her turtle along with. Look close at her eyes, for a girl who used to wake up at 8am, having daddy shake her awake at 6:50 was a bit of a shock to the system. She popped out of bed and tip toed out for her breakfast without waking sister.

I got her ready to go and we all made the journey to the school for her first day. She sat down at her desk and never looked back! The picture that I took of her at her desk was blurry otherwise I’d post that one too.

I picked her up this afternoon and she had a tired, glazed look on her face but was very chatty. I found out about the new friends she met, how her teacher read her stories, where she went for lunch, quiet time on the floor with the towel, a running game in gym with music, what she had for snack time and and and…

here is the after picture:

Certainly not much worse for the wear. She was dissappointed that she couldn’t ride the bus home though! I told her “we’ll see”.

And not to be left out, I had to take a picture of L in her backpack!

She starts preschool next week! My kids are growing up.

Peace,
Tony
