I'm not sure how it happened.....but I now have a child in Kindergarten! We've talked about it since preschool ended and then in a blink of an eye, the day had come. I didn't cry as I sent her off that first day. I think I wiped the sweat off my forehead in my mad dash to get the whole family ready by 8:15am. That is why I took pictures of the whole first week....I felt rushed in all the "first day pictures". Emma has reported "Kindergarten is even better than preschool because every day is a surprise! " It has also been great to hear all of the quotes that are said during the first week of Kindergarten such as:

"A little glue will do"

"Don't be afraid of your pencil or use it as a weapon"

"Keep your hands inside your invisible bubble (personal space)"

"You get what you get and you don't get upset"

Haha. Kindergarten teachers have so much patience!
