Kindergarten

My little girl is so big now. I have been dreading this moment for so long. I can't possibly have a kid in school. I feel like now I am tied down to a schedule and that I don't have a lot of control over what she does and sees and hears. It makes me sad. Siena though, is so happy. I knew she would be. She has always been in to following rules and having structure and a routine. So I knew school would be easy in that way for her.
the back pack as big as her.

waiting patiently to go to her class. I could tell she was getting a little nervous at this point just waiting with the rest of the school to go to the rooms. I quietly asked her if she had any other questions and she said no.

Siena has Mrs. Rader and Mrs. Abbott as her teachers. We have found lots of friends that we know that are in her class. The boy next to her goes to our church but is in the next primary class above her. The girl next to her went to her swim lessons this past summer and there is a boy in her class that went to preschool with her. She said she played with Vance, the little boy that was in her preschool. She said she talked to some girls but she couldn't remember their names. That will be the challenge for Siena. We all know that she is shy but once she opens up to you she will never stop talking. I am excited to hear about her friends.

This is the picture she came home with the first day. It is of Me, Siena and Ben. I guess she missed us:) I got a good report back from the teacher on the first day. The teacher said there was a lot of drama the first day, but not from her. I am sure she was just siting back watching it all with a concerned look on her face. When I went to go pick her up she had lost her lunch box so we went hunting around the school to find it. She was very concerned about it. She said she didn't have enough time to eat it all. I don't know if that is because she eats so slow or she was talking the whole time. We will see what happens today. She was more excited to go back the second day which hopefully means we will have a good fun year. There were a few kids who were still kicking and screaming so I am glad that is not the case for us!
