This was it...Lauren's first day of kindergarten. She, unlike me, was very excited to start school. I guess I was just pretty sad that our days of summer were ending. We have had a fantastic time playing and swimming and bike riding and not having to make bedtime etc., etc. I was even struggling last night to get them to bed on time. Once we got to school this a.m. my dread came to an end and I was really thrilled for her and this new experience. She doesn't know anyone in her class, but daddy has challenged her to know all 19 of the kids' names by Friday. Chad was able to leave work and he was manning the video camera. (once I figure out how to upload video I will add those to our blog) We all gave her big hugs and off she went in a single file line with Ms. Bans to her classroom. She turned and gave us a wave and that was it (sniffle, sniffle).
Allie was great company today and it will be nice for us to have this time together (check back in two weeks for her 1st day of preschool post). I do have to admit I did a drive by to see if I could sneak a peak of Lauren's class on the playground but they were not out there. A ton of boys are in her class so maybe some of this fancy girly stuff will wear off of her this year.
Lauren's friend, Ellie, and my friend Sylvia (her mom) met us after school for a lunch date and then Ellie came home with us to play. We still managed to get some pool time in tonight during family swim time at the rec center. I just can't let summer go.
