Kindergarten, Here We Come


Trent did great yesterday. Mike was able to get off work to meet us at school. We walked Trent to his room, found his locker, unloaded all his supplies, and went right to work. The teacher had centers all around the room for us to do with our children. Trent made the letters of his name in playdough. Then she read the book The Kissing Hand. I think it was just as much for the parents as it was for the kids. (If you haven't read it, it's a really sweet story. Highly recomend it.) The kids were all escorted out to recess and then the teacher had time one-on-one with the parents. She had little papers to write the kids notes to place in their lockers to "find" the next day. "Trent, Have a great day. We can't wait to hear all about your day. We are so proud of you and we love you very much. Love, Mom & Dad"

So did it make you sad, or are you ready for him to be gone 1/2 the day for kindergarten?

I was surprised that it didn't really phase me when Mackenzie left for her 1st day by herself! I thought I would be sad.

Anyways, welcome to this new phase of your life! :)
