Kindergarten
Yesterday Kiah started Kindergarten. It is hard to believe. REALLY hard to believe. She has been excited for this day for so long.
First we dropped Eli off at preschool. I just had a feeling it would be much easier with one less child while doing the drop off. I did snap a few pictures of her before we left the house. My parents used to do this with my brother and me, so it just doen't feel like the first day of school without some pictures taken. Then we headed over the Kiah's school. I found a parking space then we walked to the crossing guard (the lot we are asked to use is the Church parking lot across the street.) It was a mad house! There were cars and people everywhere. I walked Kiah to her room. She went right in and I turned around and walked away. It all happened very quickly.
So I spent the day running errands with just Annalise at my side. (I mean that literally since I still carry her on my hip)
At 3:20 I headed over to pick her up at school. Again it was crazy. But somehow I found her in the mass of people waiting for rides. As we got int he car I asked her about her day.
Luna: What did you do today?
Kiah: colored
Luna: Any thing else?
Kiah: had music class. I like music class.
she then went on to explain something I didn't really understand. I think it must have been a pointer of some sort, but she made sur I knew it would not hurt her. She also talked about dragonflies and how they will bite and kill you. And she couldn't go outside to play because it was too hot and when it gets cooler they can go outside. She sat on the green square on the carpet.
Kiah: can you give me money for Chocolate milk next time
(oops, I forgot to pack a drink)
Kiah: when do I go again?
Luna: Tomorrow
Kiah: what about the next day?
Luna: you will go everyday
Kiah: for how long?
Luna: uh, the rest of your life, just like Daddy.
Shoot, not a good sign when she is already tired of school and she only went one day!
I did find out that it was the craziest first day of school drop off ever. And The kindergartners get out early so I can pick her up early.
