Kindergarten

Siena loves Kindergarten. There hasn't been a day where she is sad to go so it makes me very happy. Honestly, I miss her. It is a long day. We start school really late and it is good because we are not morning people. She goes from 9- 3:45. So we get home about 4. It's not like she has homework or anything but it seems like it is the end of the day when she gets home. It is a good thing we start so late because there has been many times we wake up at 8:30 and still make it to school on time. We haven't been late yet. It's just a good thing we don't take the bus. It's been nice Ben and Claire will take a nap before we pick her up so we can play at school afterwards. It's nice for me to have a little quiet time before school gets out. Sometimes we stay after school and play with her friends. It's fun to see her actual interaction with her friends. So far all the girls seem fun. They have these fun homework bags that they get to bring home on occasion. Yesterday Siena got to bring one home and it was the book Hop on Pop and the stuffed character Pop. It was so cute she loved getting to snuggle with pop all night. Almost every day she bring home a picture she has colored for me or Dave. They are learning a lot of letters and patterns. She says she is learning how to read but right now it seems like she is just memorizing the words. Maybe that is how they teach her. Just this week she has told me that they don't take naps anymore. I think she was actually taking a little nap because she wouldn't fall asleep till 11 every night. Lately she has been really grumpy right around dinner time so I think she still needs her nap. It's a long day. I am really proud of her and glad that she is having so much fun.
