KINDERGARTEN!!!!

Poor Lucy had to wait 3 extra days before she could don her backpack, grab her lunchbox, and enjoy circle time. Our school does a staggered entry for Kindergarten, so that the kids get a smaller group their first day of school. It is a great idea. . unless you get tapped for the 3rd wave. Lucy had to watch Isaac go to school Monday and Tuesday, so by Wednesday she was rarin' to go. Do you see any apprehension in this face??

Me neither.

 

She has a wonderful teacher, Mrs. DeMolet, and as she has explained to anyone willing to listen--a menagerie of class pets. There's Ariel, the guinea pig (with red hair). The turtles: Mytrle and Yurtle (nice Seuss nod), and Noodle, the bird. . I don't get that one. And her whole first week, she got to hold down the button on the water fountain and count to five for all her thirsty friends. She is reading and writing and learning. . . and completely exhausted by 6:00pm every night. My only wish would be for a longer naptime at school!!
