It's official!


We have a kindergartener in the house!! Katelyn started school on Thursday. My little girl is growing up and I have such mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I have great memories of kindergarten myself and I know she is going to really enjoy the interaction with kids her age and she needs the challenges she'll be given. The thought of her out of my control for 4+ hours a day kinda scares me though. And I just want the other kids to be nice, cuz we know they can not be and she hopefully isn't one of those ones. The other hand is way excited to have 4+ hours to do what I want to do and only one child to have to do it with! I'm not even sure what to do with that time, I just know the possibilities are exciting. Nap? time with Dave? shopping without someone asking for everything they see? who knows... So the other bit of drama with the school thing is she has a "boy teacher" and she's not too sure about that. The first day when she got home I asked her how she liked school and her response was " I don't like it at all, it's boring!" and "all the other kids had fun but it's just boring". I hope that was only because they couldn't play on the playground because of the heat advisory, poor Mr. M he's got his work cut out for him! He said she did much better on Friday so maybe there is hope . I'm crossing my fingers!!!!!!

That is so awesome, and crazy cause I used to be her sunbeam teacher, I can't believe she's in kindergardren:) I'm with you, I would have the same mixed emotions. I'm just excited for Shea to start pre-school with Amber, it's so nice to have a few hrs. to yourself, or at least with one less child:)
