Caroline's first Day at School

[puppetmaker]

Had to start with an adventure. Her bus didn't make the turn and one of the other father's called the school to report it. So we had to take her to the school and she was a few minutes late for her first day. The bus did drop her off at the right stop coming home.

She enjoyed it a lot. She told us that she played on the playground and in the classroom. She drew and colored. She ate lunch. She had a good time and wanted to go back the next day. Which, we informed her, was a good thing because she had school today.

We had to re-arrange some parts of her previous regular schedule including her bath moving to the evening rather than in the morning. She went to bed on time and got up in plenty of time to get ready for school.

This morning the bus picked her up in plenty of time for school. She bounced onto the bus and sat down. She waved to me and is off to school.

I am grateful that she had a good first day.

But the question is how did YOU do?

She seems to have adjusted well.

She just takes things in stride doesn't she?

We have always done better with a bedtime bathtime, not trying to do it in the mornings. Morning is far too rushed in my house.

Yay! Glad she had a good first day. May she have many, many more good days. :-)

Do they have full day/every day kindergarten? Our kindergarten teacher's been fighting for years to get that at Newton, but hasn't been successful yet. (She at least got 'em to switch from half days every day to full days every other day.)
