My baby girl started kindergarten this morning. i have known this day was coming soon and all summer i have prepared for this....
i have never been sad or worried about mikenna. she is almost 6 and so ready to be in school. plus, she needs something to do during the day because she gets bored. i was the weird excited mom that couldn't wait to get everything on her school list, help her pick out a backpack and lunch box. i sat down last night and enjoyed filling out all her papers she needed to take back and double checked her list, set her clothes out ( which mikenna picked ), and dreamt about her first morning getting ready but...
i woke up this morning with knots in my stomach. i was nervous. i followed her around all morning because we were the only two awake. i talked to her about every little thing before school and was weird.
Mikenna, on the other hand, has been excited about school except last week when we started counting down the days. she went back and forth saying whether she wanted to go or not. last night before she went to bed she finally started screaming that she was so excited. that made me feel better. this morning she was silly. she laughed and was just being silly.
we got to school and i walked her into her classroom. she was quiet, shy, and, calm. she sat down and i helped her put her stuff away. i said goodbye and i left. no tears from me or her thank goodness. as soon as i got home my knots were gone and the house was quiet.
I cant wait to pick her up this afternoon.!!!
