The build up to school wasn't much, the only difference from her pre-school was that she got to take her new yellow back pack to her new school. We both have survived the first week, she started on Tuesday. We parked the car and were walking across the street and we had the following conversation.
Cloe: Mom you can go back to the car, you are just dropping me off.
Me: Well, I want to walk you to your new class room.
Cloe: No mom, you need to go back to the car, I can go myself
Me: But mommy needs to make sure you get to you class o.k.
Cloe: You're going to be late for work mom, look at your watch (as she points the it) you're going to be late!
Little Miss independent!
She did finally give in so I did walk her to meet her class. They had all the kids assemble outside on the play ground so they had music playing and the principal was encouraging everyone to dance! It was fun. Anyway the time came and all the kids were to line up with their teacher, and the parents were to stand off to the side. Pictures were being taken (see below) and kisses were given. I stepped back a little way to make room for other parents and Fro so sweetly said to one of them, "You're standing in my mom's way"! Wonder if she'll try comedy out as a career or if she'll just be the class clown. All the parent around us were laughing. Good thing she's so cute!
So far we really like her teacher, and we got our first night of homework done and turned in! I'm really excited about this year and she seems to be as well, so far she is excited every morning and we haven't had the whole separation anxiety yet. The only thing for me is, I can't believe I have a kindergartener!!!!!
You will also notice that Fro has a new hair style for the new school year. We finally had enough of the fights to comb and fix her hair so one morning I told her, fine we would go to the beauty salon after work and cut her hair. I forgot all about it until we were on our way home and she announced that we still had to go get her hair cut! It's so much easier now, and I still think she looks so cute!
My little poser!
