Well, today was one of the BIG ones -- one of the days you know is coming but can't really wrap your mind around it until it happens. Today Simone began kindergarten....amazing. And even though she is still at her same school, with her same friends, and largely the same routine, something felt very different. She woke up just looking older, acting older, being.... a big kid.
 |
| After a good night's rest, she woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed. Ready to get dressed for school. |
 |
| She picked her outfit the night before, and was so excited to match it to her new backpack. |
 |
| Walking toward the classroom. |
 |
| Settling into her new cubby. |
 |
| She had some time before the day started, and of course she darted straight to the reading center. A whole new slew of books to explore. Fun! |
 |
| And that's where we said goodbye and left her with all smiles and no tears. (mommy and daddy too!) |
On the drive home she told me all about her day and said that she likes kindergarten better than PreK because they get to go outside right after lunch AND naptime is much shorter! She also noted that the play kitchen area in PreK is called dramatic play center but in kindergarten it's called the housekeeping center. She is looking forward to going back tomorrow and can't wait until homework starts next week -- we'll see how long that lasts lol!
