First Day of Kindergarten!!!

Well, I am conserving lots of water. I cried enough tears today to fill up the bath tub for Elijah and Ezra both! Doesn't Anna Claire look just precious?!

She really likes her new backpack!!!

Does this face not say "proud"!?

The sun was so bright!

This is her school. I have to drop her off at the sidewalk and she walks in by herself! i never get out of the car! Mr. Alan her principal opens the door for her and she hops right out!! She is dropped off about 25 yards to the right of this picture!!! These pictures were taken Monday, her first day! Today she did just as well as yesterday! When most kids get out of their parent's car the parents are not paranoid freaks and they usually drive on off. Not me! I pulled right over out of every one's way (not in the bus lane like yesterday) and watched my little angel walk all the way in and I would not take a million, no a trillion dollars for this opportunity! Her face was so funny! She was holding back the biggest smile ever - trying so hard to keep her face straight...but mommy's know best .. she wanted to SMILE! That made my heart sing! She really likes school! The cafeteria manager said at kindergarten orientation that it was a feat to try to get Kindergarten students to eat lunch at all. I asked Anna Claire what she ate and she said .. "two pieces of pizza, a whole pear, a corn on the cob and juice. We are looking for the cafeteria to bankrupt over my children going there! She got to finger paint, play on the playground, had a nap time, etc. Last night we went to revival and heard out favorite group of singer's "The Fincher's". They were selling their CD's and I bought one. One the way to school Anna Claire said "Mommy, let's put in "The Fincher's"! I am teaching her right!!! lol

Kindergarten

Well, I have been scared. Reheheheally scared. I have been terrified that I could not get all 3 kids out the door and at Kindergarten with Anna Claire at 7:35. I mean, these kids have been at home thier whole lives!! We did the two days at the Methodist Church Preschool and without that tool we would have been completely lost and traumatized with this transition. We had to be at the church for preschool at 8:30 and I picked he up at 11:30. The door to drop her off was right there beside my car door. I woke up Ezra took him to the car in his pj's. Came back in and got Elijah out of the bed and put him in the car. Came back in and put Anna Claire in the car. Came back in and got all things needed to go with us. WHEW.. I am tired now.
Making this kindergarten transition has been hard. This is a BIG school!!! Well, we went for the orientation Monday night...we went for 5 minutes on Friday. (I must say going Fri was fun for me...even though I didn't go to that school it brought back many many memories.)
She walked in school like she owned the place. She knows where everything is already!!! Tomorrow is the big day. The big day that I will snap 100 pics of her and her lunchbox with Princess towel in tow. The big day I see my 5 year old walk that LONG walk down the sidewalk into the school. The big day I let my little girl go. Alone. Please say a prayer for me as this has been excruciating for me. I will post pictures tomorrow of her school sidewalk ...that is so long and her, my precious little girl.
