Oh my.
My girl officially started Kindergarten on Wednesday, August 25, 2010.
It was a day that was much anticipated by her and much dreaded by me. My fears were put to bed very quickly, though, when I met her teacher. She immediately made Emma feel loved and welcome in her classroom and that is such a huge relief to me. Nothing makes a mama happier than seeing her babies treated special.
The only thing I was worried about where Emma was concerned was her schedule that she’s been on her whole little life. She’s like her mama…. not a morning person, so the getting her up each day is… a challenge. So, on the first day, I got up at 6:30, went into her room and to my shock, she was sitting up in bed, petting Stella ( you can see a glimpse of her in the shot on the left below) and she said to me, “Hi Mommy, I was just waiting for you to come wake me up for Kindergarten!” Ha! Are you kidding me???
So, the first morning was a breeze! This morning, though, (her second day) was not so easy. It took me two trips into her room before she got up and I’m sure she cried at least 5 times between the getting out of the bed and going out the door! She’ll get used to it, though… I hope. Otherwise, it’s going to be a reallllllly looooong 13 years of school.
These shots are from her first day of school…. from the getting up to her mini-photo shoot before we left to go to Kindergarten.
